Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

The character in the horror movie let out a keening scream that sent chills down the audience's spine.

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

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