your question is not particulary clear a seasonal sound could be the merry chrip of lovebirds on the arrival of spring of the grating of the snow shovel on the pavement in the winter 
explanation 
in all cases the velocity of sound does not depend on the season but on the media sound has a velocity through air which is different from the velocity through water 
i expect the presence of humidity in the air would somehow effect its velocity but not why very much
