Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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 old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.
