Anyone with a basic knowledge of physics knows how sound waves work. Anyone who's been up close to the stage of a rock concert can tell how well they work when it gets loud. This, though, is that feeling taken beyond what's possible in real life. A sound or series of sounds, if sufficiently loud, will push someone or something around as would the wind of a hurricane or tornado, well beyond what would happen in the Real Life. This trope is almost always played for laughs. Examples of Gale Force Sound include:

This trope is almost always played for laughs. Note, however, that this doesn't cover sounds that are genuinely that loud, like a rocket launch, nor does it cover giant monsters like Godzilla or King Kong roaring in someone's face, where their breath would come into play. Contrast this to Brown Note and Loud of War, where the sound has a purely psychological effect on the target, as opposed to the physical effect of Gale Force Sound. See also Glass-Shattering Sound, where the effect is limited to glass. Make Me Wanna Shout has a similar effect, but only caused by a person's voice. Examples of Gale Force Sound include:
