Keening

The abandoned puppy let out a keening howl, desperately yearning for someone to rescue it.

The wounded animal emitted a keening cry, pleading for help.

The keening howls of the wolf pierced the silence of the night.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The keening smell of rotten eggs filled the kitchen, indicating a gas leak.

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
