I know that sound is always motion of some kind. But what motion makes the sound of the wind? Molecules? When foiling I can hear the sound of the air over my sail. Open the window in a moving car and you can "hear the wind". Right now I can hear the wind outside, but what is it? That "freight train" sound of roaring wind in a tornado... it's not the airborne mobile homes making that noise, is it? It seems like all those sounds are the same frequency (pitch), just more or less loud. Here's some music to help you contemplate:
—
Vibrations of the wind molecules - usually from turbulence. That's why a foil that has a square edge has a whistling but one that has a beveled edge has less/doesn't. (Same concept even if the "fluids" aren't the same. )

When you hear the wind, it's because the wind is moving across some object from your ears to things like trees, etc. The turbulence creates pressure waves -> sound.
Similarly, the whole science of making jet engines quieter involves understanding and diminishing the turbulence of the exhaust flow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_noise

The interesting thing is when you are moving under wind power you usually don't hear the wind that much. Sometimes you do hear it when it is picking up a lot sailing, but I seldom recall hearing it on the kite buggy. I suspect one thing you hear at the lake is the sound of the wind going through the trees. On the water you have visual cues from the water - dark patches, suddenly more whitecaps, etc. On land you don't have that and whatever you see and hear (esp. flying kites on long lines) can be misleading because the wind where the kite is can be a lot different from you think it would be.
