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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
