Keening

The keening cries of the bereaved could be heard at the gravesite.

The keening sound of the ambulance siren signaled a tragedy unfolding on the streets.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The distant keening of the siren warned of an approaching storm.

The mourners' keening filled the air as they bid farewell to their beloved friend.

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

The keening sound of the ambulance siren pierced through the busy city streets.
