The keening cry of the sirens warned us of the approaching storm.

The keening sound of sirens filled the air as the ambulance rushed through the city streets.

The keening wail of the sirens signaled the approach of a dangerous storm.

The wanderer stood on the mountaintop, feeling the keening wind against his face, yearning for freedom and adventure.

The singer's voice soared in a beautiful keening note, captivating the audience.
