Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

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

The young child stood by the graveside, keening for his pet dog that had passed away.

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.
