Keening

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

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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