"Breathing" of the air

Hi folks, I would like to ask you the following. With some audiophile set ups I'm able to hear what I call "breathing" of the air, as if the air surrounding voices and instruments is a living entity, as if one is capable of hearing individual air molecules, if you know what I mean. Are you familiar with this phenomenon? Is this quality inherent to some amplifiers or speakers? Can you mention set ups that have these characteristics?

My perception ... air on its own we cannot hear, but can be heard once a sound excites air in a space and it reveals the characteristics of the acoustic environment that the sound was made in. I believe this to be the sound of air. I also think not just the high frequencies but all frequencies high-mid-& low are telling of the sound of air.

best,

Tom
