Keening

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

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

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

The singer's voice soared in a beautiful keening note, captivating the audience.

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

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