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 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 young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

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