Keening

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

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