Keening

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

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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

The piercing sound of keening could be heard from miles away, signaling the loss of a respected community leader.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.
