Keening

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

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

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.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
