Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.
