We present direct measurements of the gas acoustic dynamics following interaction of spatial single- and multi-mode 50 fs, 800 nm pulses in air at 10 Hz and 1 kHz repetition rates. Results are in excellent agreement with hydrodynamic simulations. Under no conditions for single filaments do we find on-axis enhancement of gas density; this occurs only with multi-filaments. We also investigate the propagation of probe beams in the gas density profile induced by a single extended filament. We find
