Keening

The horror movie was accompanied by a soundtrack of keening voices, adding to the creepy atmosphere.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.
