Keening

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

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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.
