I dont really think thats true. wind is caused, mainly, by areas of warm air and cold air interacting with one another. Sunshine is much more likely than darkness to cause the kinds of microenvironemnts that would cause regional and local winds, while larger weather systems wouldn't likelly be influenced by either.

It depends on where you live. For example; if you live near the base of a mountain the wind may move up the mountain during the day due to the sun heating it. Then, at night the air cools and comes down the mountain. Cool air is heavier than warm air, plus gravity aids it's decent. Of course, the wind isn't the same everyday. Passing cold fronts, warm fronts, ridges and throughs can often have bigger effects than that of the mountain. The weather and wind are not exact sciences.

That is when less is stirring, there is less interference noise such that it can be heard better. Also because of the sun going down things like heat exchange and loss to the outer atmosphere affects wind currents and movements so there is in general an increase in air movement. It is related to energy exchanges and diffusion. During the day in mountain plateau regions in Southern Mexico because the air temperature is very constant throughout the region during the afternoon there is very little breeze.

In general, it doesn't. There are far more calm nights than there are calm days. The strength of the wind is related to the size of pressure differences and pressure differences are related to temperature differences. As the temperature falls at night so does the wind.

It might seem that way, but it's actually around twilight and dawn that things get windier, in general. That's because of the changes caused by the sun either coming or going (warming or cooling things, which causes air to move around).

becuase at night the air pressure is lower, causing winds to be stronger.

it might just seem that way, or if you live in a busy traffic area, there is less resistance from traffic, I would think?
I may be soooo wrong, but it sounded good in my head.

I think it just seems like it does because people are quieter at night.
