Keening

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

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

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
