Keening

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

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

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

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