King has written about a loon, in that sense of the word, more than a couple times. I think its a bird. There was also the continual shrill shriek of a loon in The Raft, a short story they used in Creepshow 2. (not sure if the film included it).

Don't worry. It's just a loon.

That howling would be nice for sleep relaxing.

Realrockerhalloween is correct. I read something to this effect once,(I'm sorry I don't remember where) but I think it was in a list of things, places and characters that commonly re-occur in his stories. They did link Pet Semetary to The Body when mentioning the Wendigo.
Not that it was a big part of this story because this isn't a paranormal tale but it is Stephen King.

I grew up about a block and a half away from a golf course in southeast Vancouver. There were coyotes that lived in the woods there, and you could hear them howling at night. It was just like the noises in the woods in SbM.

Just sounded like wolves or coyotes to me. However, we have to remember that this is a story being told by the author, who may make the sounds out to be much crazier than they really were.

Yeah.
