Good Question!

The driver, radio, speakers, and air inside the cabin are all going
(hopefully anyway) the same speed. What do you think?

Or, if you happen to be in the cockpit of a fighter that is supersonic,
things quiet down. You can hear the earphones with no problems.
Remember the Concord? You could speak to another passenger in the cabin.

Something about Einstein may come into play.
