Sound of a hurricane?

Question

Do the winds only make the screaming sound that sounds like a thousand ghosts crying when you are in a high building? The sound is scary. How long does that sound go on?

I also listened to hurricane ike it sounded like a ghost train. I wonder if that was actually a tornado that spawned?

Answer 1

Whenever the wind/air from the hurricane reaches a more confined space, it is going to whistle/howl regardless of height. After attending the University of Miami for 5 years, I have heard that sound from many different elevations, inside and out. The sound will last as long as the winds are gusting above 40-50mph.

Answer 2

FYI: For hundreds of years, hurricanes in the West Indies were named after the particular saint's day on which the hurricane occurred. An Australian meteorologist began giving women's names to tropical storms before the end of the 19th century. In 1953, the U.S. National Weather Service, which is the federal agency that tracks hurricanes and issues warnings and watches, began using female names for storms. In 1979, both women and men's names were used. One name for each letter of the alphabet is selected, except for Q, U and Z. For Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, the names may be French, Spanish or English, since these are the major languages bordering the Atlantic Ocean where the storm occur. So who decides what names are used each year? The World Meteorological Organization uses six lists in rotation. The same lists are reused every six years. The only time a new name is added is if a hurricane is very deadly or costly. Then the name is retired and a new name is chosen. I guess the World Meteorological Organization is not into ghetto names probably don't know any either.

Answer 3

Ghost train sounds about right. The whining stops while the eye of the storm passes over, but whines in opposite direction, as it changes course. check out the Ntional Weather Service for more info on hurricanes. Good luck.
