Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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.

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