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 singer's voice soared in a beautiful keening note, captivating the audience.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
