Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

The keening whistle of the teapot signaled that the water was boiling.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

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

The keening smell of rotten eggs filled the kitchen, indicating a gas leak.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
