Keening

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

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
