Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

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 haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
