Check out this awesome picture of a tornado on Mars.
From what I understand, the atmosphere on Mars is about 1% as dense as that of the Earth. Would such a thin atmosphere carry sound waves that are audible to the human ear? If I were standing near that tornado, would I have been able to hear it?*
*Of course not- I’d have been in a space suit. But you get what I mean.
Nasa put a microphone on the Polar Lander;

Don’t know if it worked.
There is an atmosphere so yes there would be sound; sound is basically the displacement of molecules.
The Polar Lander crashed.
My bad. Sorry.
I bet that made a sound.
If a spaceship crashes on Mars, but there’s no one to hear it, does it make a sound?
Age old question. If a Polar Lander crashes onto a planet with a very thin atmosphere and no one could actually survive standing on the surface of that planet without wearing a spacesuit that cancels out most outside noise, does it make a sound?
I found this interesting article - theoretical results rather than experimental, but I found it interesting - a sound that would carry 1 kilometer on Earth would travel approx 15 meters on Mars.
But with only 1% of earth-atmosphere density would human ears be able to hear that sound? Would sounds just be 1% as loud?
I imagine the relationship between volume and density won’t be linear. The speed of sound will certainly be slower in a less dense medium.
I suspect that distance might be the factor - that despite the sparse air, a sound that you’re very close to is almost as loud as on Earth, but it falls off quickly as it travels.
Depends upon the individuals hearing perception. I for one have trouble hearing the grass grow over the screams of the butterflies. 
There was a website that simulated what a windstorm on Mars would sound like. Sounded very meh. I’ll see if I can find it.
Here’s another one to compare sounds
