Questions on sound waves/air blowing/wind

[David Love]

It's more like the rings that emanate from dropping a pebble into a pool of
water.  You do feel them.  But the only membrane sensitive enough to feel
them on your body is your eardrum.

Greeetings,

 

          This may sound elementary but, if sound waves are compressed and
rarefacted molecules of air, then how is it that soundwaves are not wind, or
air blowing...why can't you feel sound waves moving past your ear? ...(or
can you feel them if the sound is loud enough?) This may sound crazy but,
shouldn't a high note such as C88 make you feel colder  because its 4160cps
of comp and raref's going past your body as compared with A0 at 27cps? Why
arent sound waves enough to move air?

 

This question has plagued me for a long long time.

 

Thanks,

Julia
