Keening

The keening cries of the bereaved could be heard at the gravesite.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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 mourners' keening filled the air as they bid farewell to their beloved friend.

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

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