Keening

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

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 haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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 traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.
