Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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 keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
