The same wind sound expresses one’s happiness or unhappiness.

Evidence

Wind can also cause refraction effects because the velocity of sound within the medium is unaffected by the velocity of the medium. The velocity of a sound wave in a moving medium, when viewed from a fixed point, is the sum of the two velocities, so that it is increased when the sound is moving with the wind and is reduced when it is moving against the wind. As the velocity of air is generally less at ground level compared with the velocity higher up (due to the effect of the friction of the ground), sound waves are bent upward or downward depending on their direction relative to the wind. The degree of direction change depends on the rate of change in wind velocity as a function of height; a faster rate of change results in a greater direction change. — David M.

Several performers develop ways through subjective and objective testing to express what tone or sound, or combination of tones or sounds as well as a color or colors, masks and costumes is most beneficial for a particular person. Beneficial means that which produces a feeling of well-being in a person. The performers demonstrate an inviting process to the audience. … Individual audience members are invited to participate in a way facilitated by the performers, which results in an orchestration of individual portraits enhanced by sound, special lighting, masks and costumes in a gradually changing tableaux. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 373 (#expands, via linked claim)
