Keening

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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

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

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.
