Default lift, wings, and Bernuolli

An object moving through air doesn't cause any significant compression
(change in volume) of the air until its speed gets close to the speed of
sound.


Is there not a (slight) pressure increase in front of any object,
especially a blunt one, moving through the air? (if not, what causes
the air to get out of the way, and what causes the breezes as it goes past?)
