\huge \boxed{\sf Personification}

In this context, the wind gives a human trait. Although it is not true that the wind howls, this line implies that it does.

Personification is figurative language in which a non-human object gets human characteristics to convey a point or idea in a more vivid, imaginative way.

For example, the narrative screams off the page.

Answer:

The answer is personification! Wind cannot actually "Howl" Thats something wolves do. Basically, the writer of this sentence is giving human characteristics or abilities to something that is nonhuman.
