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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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

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

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