Keening

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

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the busy street.

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

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

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

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

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

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

The keening sound of the foghorn guided ships safely through the thick mist.
