Keening

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

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

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
