Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

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

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

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
