“Different layers of air can reflect sound a long ways.”

Correct. Sometimes I can hear the train very loudly. Not the whistle, but the train! There’s no crossing. It’s sometimes louder at my house, 3 miles a way, than it is a block in the other direction from the tracks. Combination of different layers and wind I guess.
