ELI5: Can sound waves be blown in a different direction by the wind?
gpt
Yes.  Sounds generally travel through the air at about 340m/s, and tend to expand outwards.  But if the air is moving, the sound waves can get carried along with it.  This means they might move faster in one direction than the other, and might travel further with the wind than against it.

But, even in a hurricane, the wind is only something like 30m/s.  So instead of travelling at 340m/s, the sound would move at 310m/s or 370m/s depending on the direction.  So it makes a difference, but maybe not as much as you'd expect.
