Wind is actually silent. What we hear is the wind blowing against an object.

When you hear trees rustling, a whistling window, or a howling night breeze—you're not hearing the wind itself. You're hearing what the wind does.

Wind becomes "loud" only when it hits something like leaves, rooftops, power lines, or your ears. Without anything in its path, wind makes no sound at all.

That means on a perfectly empty planet with no trees or buildings, the strongest windstorm would still be completely silent. A ghostly hush, even in 100 mph gusts.
