Keening

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

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
