Keening

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.
