Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

This is a simile. A great way to identify a simile is to look for the words "like" or "as".

"A constant whirring that had a metallic ring every few seconds, <u>like</u> sharp knives rubbing against each other."

A simile compares two things. In this sentence, the "constant whirring" is being compared to "sharp knives".

I hope this helps :)
