Keening

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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

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