Keening

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.

The keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
