Keening

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

The keening whistle of the tea kettle signaled that the water had boiled.

The keening mother clutched her child's lifeless body, unable to contain her grief.

The keening voices of the choir conveyed the deep sorrow of the funeral service.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for her father's return.

The keening howl of the lost child echoed through the forest, raising concern among the search party.

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