Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
