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

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