Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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