Keening

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
