Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance siren signaled a tragedy unfolding on the streets.

The distant keening of the siren warned of an approaching storm.

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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

The keening sound of the ambulance siren pierced through the busy city streets.
