Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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 widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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