Keening

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

The keening voices of the choir conveyed the deep sorrow of the funeral service.

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

The somber, keening notes of the bagpipes filled the air at the memorial service, evoking a sense of solemnity and remembrance.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
