Does temperature have an effect on sound?

I think yes, definately! I work on Alaska's North Slope and I know that sound absolutely travels better at extremely cold temperatures. When it is minus 40 or 50 F you can hear vehicles coming from a much greater distance for example. Can't say why exactly. Maybe because the molecules in the air are closer together (condensed) and therefore transmit sound more efficiently (like water).

sounds are waves, which travel through a medium.  In this case, the medium is air.  \n\nVariations in density distort the waves (which is why things sound different underwater).  Wind causes these density fluccuations in air.  Therefore, it can affect the sound you hear.

there is a lot of research on sound/acoustics here is a good source of information http://www.livesoundint.com/

temperature will rise depending on starting temperature, albedo(reflectivity), density, and probably lots of other factors, so there is no set answer.

Mass is not affected by temperature, but volume can be slightly changed because if an object heats up, the particles begin to move faster and so it expands, or vice versa if the object gets cooler.

Depends upon the volume.

No, the temperature of air does not affect it's ability to go through a magnetic field.  Air will travel through/ exist in a magnetic field no matter what it's temperature.

That is fine. as long as is not a major,sudden change. Your bodys temperature changes due to a lot of factors like: activity, stress or even what you eat. Lack of sleep or activity also makes a difference . you are fine.

Yes sometimes. I don't like it that loud. Its ridiculous.

Yo, this completely depends on how loud it is, and how short or long your attention span is.  As for me, it helps out alot. peace.

The sound energy is being dissipated uniformly in all directions.\nThe intensity of the sound energy decreases inversely to\nthe distance squared.\n\nSo from a location 78m versus 22m, the decrease in intensity\nis a factor of (22/78)^2.  And teh actual intenisty is then\n\n3x10^-4 x (22/78)^2.

If a lightning strike is a sufficient distance from the observer, sound from the strike will not be heard. These silent bolts are called heat lightning. Lightning bolts produce thunder, but the thunder sound does not travel all the way to the observer if the observer is too far away.\n\nThe movement of sound in the atmosphere depends on the atmospheric properties of the air such as temperature and density. Because temperature and density change with height, the sound of thunder is refracted through the troposphere. This refraction results in spaces of volume in which the thunder does not propagate through. For more information, please refer to the source

The speed of sound varies depending on the material it is travelling through, the pressure, altitude and temperature.\n\nOn the assumption you're talking about air and that you're at sea level under normal atmospheric conditions then 340m/s would be the speed at 14 degrees C and 330m/s would be the speed at minus 1 degree C - so they're both right.

depends on the temp of the room

yeah, you can.   it may even sound a bit better in the lows, though it may leave something to be desired in the mid and high ranges.

It depends. Wind is the movement of air. If the wind contains warm moist air, then yes the temperature and humidity will be affected. It temp and humidity of the air in the wind is the same as the air it replaces then no there will be no effect.

yes...if you change the temperature....the density of water for example changes with its temperature....
