Yeah, you can hear, but CO2 actually attenuates the sound pretty quick due to being triatomic.
As for feeling the wind, force is proportional to density * (velocity squared). Winds on Mars can get to around 60 mph, so at most the force would be equivalent to 6 mph winds on Earth, which should be somewhat noticeable. I'd guess a dust storm would also increase the effective density a bit as well due to the dust particles.

Not even remotely possible.
