Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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