The wind howls in the night due to the movement of air at different speeds and temperatures, creating sound as it passes through obstacles like trees and buildings.
Wind patterns can vary depending on the location and weather conditions, but generally speaking, wind tends to be stronger during the daytime. This is because during the day, temperature differences between land and water create convection currents that can lead to increased wind speeds. At night, as these temperature differences decrease, the wind often calms down.
Waves can get bigger at night due to a combination of factors such as increased wind speed and longer duration of wind exposure, which can lead to larger waves forming and building up over time.
The sound you described could be a wolf's howl. Wolves use howling as a form of long-distance communication to locate pack members or warn off intruders. The high-pitched wavering sound helps the howl travel over long distances.
A farmer might choose to install wind turbines instead of solar panels if the area has higher and more consistent wind speeds, making wind energy more viable and cost-effective. Additionally, wind turbines can operate at night and during cloudy conditions, providing a more reliable source of energy compared to solar panels which rely on sunlight.
Some problems with using wind turbines include noise pollution, bird and bat fatalities due to collisions with the blades, visual impact on landscapes, and potential for negative effects on local wildlife and ecosystems. Additionally, wind energy production can be intermittent depending on wind patterns, which may require backup power sources.
The wind was howling like a banshee. The wind was howling like a wolf, alone in the woods, in the dark of night. Or maybe like a coyote. Or like a dog howling when its master dies
howl
There was a howl of protest at the meeting last night.
Golden retrievers howl when they hear a sound that hurts their ears, such as a fire siren. A golden's howl actually sounds just like a fire siren.
A howl is a noise. There is no way to choose how far a noise will travel. Wolves will howl as they see fit, then the noise will carry as far as it can. Longer over water. Longer downwind, shorter upwind. Longer over open ground than through forest. If the wind picks up, the sound of the howl soon drowns in the general rustle and noises of the wind.
Coyotes are similar to wolves in many ways, but not the howl. Wolves have a clear, smooth howl, and coyotes have a whimper-like howl. When coyotes howl, they are barking and then let out a short howl, then keep doing high pitched howls.

Wolves howl....But they don't howl at the moon. In fact wolves have no interest in the moon at all. The common myth of a wolf howling at the moon probably comes from the way the wolves howl. When wolves howl they lift their heads towards the sky and it looks as if they are howling at the moon. But why do they lift their heads when howling ? Wolves lift their heads when they howl because the sound waves carry further than what they would if the wolf didn't lift its head when howling. A wolfs howl can be heard up to 6 miles away. Wolves howl mainly at night because they are nocturnal animals. Wolves howl for various reasons to warns off other wolf packs, To find each other, call for the pack to meet up and sometimes they may just howl for fun . Each wolf will have a slightly different howl. So wolves can tell each other apart even in the dead of night. In fact wolves don't just howl at night they also howl at dawn, dusk and day. The alpha wolf will have a howl that is lower in frequency. Wolves in packs howl all the time but lone wolves do not howl as much because they do not want their where about to be known by potential predators.
I used to own a beagle, and if I'm not mistaken, usually at night.
wolves don't specifically howl to the moon. They don't think "hey there's a moon! I'm going to howl to it". People normally think they howl to the moon because they usually howl at night. But that's because wolves are nocturnal. They are awake during the day time as well and do sleep at night sometimes. But they normally hunt at night. This, i do not know why. Wolves howl to communicate and when they are hunting communicating is very important.

Wolves dont actually howl at the moon like most people think..wolves are nocturnal which means they're awake during the day (sometimes at day too) so they are just more active at night. (and howling is a way to communicate)
