Keening

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

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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