Keening

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
