Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
