Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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