Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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 old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.
