Questions on sound waves/air blowing/wind

[Gordon Wilson]

Julia,

Think of water waves. If they are strong and large (low frequency) enough,
they move water.  If they are small, just ripples.

Julia,
If you have a subwoofer at home, put your hand over the port or woofer when
it is playing some low frequencies at decent volume.  You should be able to
feel it.

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
