Keening

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

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The sailor set sail with a keening longing for adventure, eager to explore uncharted waters.

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