Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

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

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.
