Keening

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

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

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

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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