Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

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