I live by the ocean on the top floor of my building. Why does the wind sound like a ghost in a haunted house?

Question

I have lived by the ocean before, but not so high up. I experienced hurricanes elsewhere that weren't so noisy.

Answer 1

Maybe because you DO have a ghost.
More likely, you have some vertical slats that are in the direction of the wind blowing. This causes a "moaning' sound to occur.

Answer 2

The moaning sound is caused by the wind blowing over or through some feature on your building. Engineers and architects rarely think about wind noise when designing tall buildings.
