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

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.
