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

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

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