Yes, the movement of air due to a strong wind can affect the propagation of sound waves and cause an angular shift in the perceived position of the sound source. This phenomenon is known as sound refraction.
When sound waves travel through the air, they encounter variations in air density due to factors such as temperature, wind, and atmospheric conditions. These variations can cause the sound waves to refract, meaning they change direction as they pass through the different air layers with varying densities.
In the case of a strong wind, if the wind is blowing towards you from the direction of the sound source (upwind), it can effectively "carry" the sound waves and push them towards you, causing an angular shift. This is known as downwind refraction. As a result, the sound source may appear to be slightly closer or shifted in the direction of the wind.
Conversely, if the wind is blowing from behind you towards the sound source (downwind), the wind can hinder the sound waves, causing them to refract away from you. This is known as upwind refraction. In this case, the sound source may appear to be slightly farther away or shifted away from the direction of the wind.
It's important to note that the degree of angular shift or displacement caused by wind-induced refraction depends on various factors, including the wind speed, the frequency of the sound waves, the atmospheric conditions, and the distance between the listener and the sound source. In some cases, the effect may be negligible, while in others, it can be noticeable, especially over long distances or in strong wind conditions.
