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 air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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

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