Keening

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The abandoned puppy let out a keening howl, desperately yearning for someone to rescue it.

The wounded animal emitted a keening cry, pleading for help.

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

The keening howls of the wolf pierced the silence of the night.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.
