The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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

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

The character in the horror movie let out a keening scream that sent chills down the audience's spine.
