The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the busy street.

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

The keening mother clutched her child's lifeless body, unable to contain her grief.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for her father's return.

The keening of mourners echoed through the somber church as they bid farewell to their beloved pastor.

The keening howl of the lost child echoed through the forest, raising concern among the search party.

The keening sound of the foghorn guided ships safely through the thick mist.
