The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

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

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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