Keening

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

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.
