Wind makes no sound if it has nothing to hit.

The wind hits the ears that hear the wind.

PS: And by the way soundwaves are generated as long as any gas isn't traveling at uniform velocity and direction. Same as how waves on water happen without land.

They meant if you were travelling precisely with the same velocity and vector as the wind you wouldn't hear it. Because then the wind isn't hitting anything since it is relatively at rest with your hearing instruments/ears.
