Keening

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

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

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

The keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
