Cloud Voice. Do you hear any dreams of hanging in the clouds which you have all visualized in your imagination at least once? As wind passes over the ground, air in contact with the surface is slowed by friction, while the air above continues at the unimpeded speed. This creates many thousands of rolling vortices, and depending on the wind speed and roughness of the terrain, these can extend upwards for a considerable height. Your flying will encounter “bumpiness” called audio turbulence, that occurs in the sound perception of the surrounding space.
When strong winds blow over you, the air can organise itself into large organised sound waves that extend several metres downstream. Very powerful rising and falling air currents are often present in these sound waves and organised bands of clouds sometimes form near the wave peaks. These waves we called cloud voices because of the characteristic effect they often adopt. - Vladislav Dobrovolski
