Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

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

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