The figure of speech used is personification. Metaphor and simile are also important figures of speech in English literature.
Personification is the figure of speech used in the example 'I heard screeching and gibberish coming from her mouth.' Personification attributes human characteristics to non-human things, like giving a mouth the ability to produce sounds.
Metaphor and simile are other common figures of speech where metaphors directly equate unlike things ('My love IS a red rose'), and similes compare using 'like' or 'as' ('My love is like a red rose').
