Keening

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

The keening voices of the choir conveyed the deep sorrow of the funeral service.

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

The somber, keening notes of the bagpipes filled the air at the memorial service, evoking a sense of solemnity and remembrance.

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
