Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
