Why is wind so loud?
In: Physics
Think of a drum, the harder you beat the drum the louder the sound produced. The sound is the vibration of air, and the bigger the impact the bigger the air vibration and the louder the sound. This air vibration causes the same air vibrations to impact on the ear drum. Therefore, if you compare the amount of air vibration caused by beating a drum, you can see how much more intense and ferocious the air movement of a strong wind can be. Also the direction of travel of these air vibrations is random and all over the place , not neat an organised like the pleasant sound of, say, music.
