Keening

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

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