Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

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.
