Fact #64

Overview:
In today’s fact we learn about the Wind! Mr. Toes teaches us about why the wind actually makes noise.

Wind actually doesn’t make any noise. It’s completely silent until it comes in contact with an object. It’s the friction between objects that causes the sound we associate with wind.
