Question

They say that non-metals are non -sonorous (does not produce
sound)
But wind produces the sound, where air (a mixture of non metals )
under pressure produces a "hooooooooo" sound
So does this make an exception in the properties of non-metals?

Dear student,
Metals when struck produce a distinct loud sound unlike wind where
the source of sound is due to friction between the wind and the
object which comes in contact
