Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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