Keening

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

The horror movie was accompanied by a soundtrack of keening voices, adding to the creepy atmosphere.

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
