why does the wind howl in some parts of the world, but not others?

Question

i noticed that where i grew up, on 1 side of Canada, i never heard the wind howling-whether the wind blew hard or soft, but here on the other side of Canada, whether it blows hard or soft, it howls. i had read stories about the wind howling, & could imagine what it sounded like (i cant remember if id heard it somewhere be4, i just somehow could imagine what it sounded like) , but i never heard it doin that. but now i hear it all the time. why? why is the meteorology different here than it is there?

another thing ive wondered; why do some parts of Canada get tornadoes, but not others? (we are not in a tornado area, but apparently are close 2 them-scary thought to some1 who grew up away from them)

i would have put this under "meteorology", but i cant find the catagory.

i AM in a populated area. ive been in populated areas most of my life. rite now im in no different a kind of area than i was b4.

Answer 1

The howl is from what the wind encounters. Compression, expansion, uplift, downdraft etc. Its not one side of Canada or another. You may get it in one part of a city and not in another depending on the terrain. If you have a lot of tall building you may get very little wind in one area, or it could cause the wind to really howl in another.

Answer 2

Some places have more wind resistance than others thus creating the effect of howling wind

Answer 3

i think its because there is more open terrain, more room for the wind to move. in more populated places, it gets blocked by various objects: trees, cars, buildings, therefore it's not as strong
