Keening

The keening cry of the baby echoed through the quiet night.

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for the arrival of her absent father.

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

The howling wind created a keening sound as it swept through the narrow alleyways.

The keening odor of a skunk made everyone hold their breath as they passed by.

The eerie silence of the forest was broken only by the keening call of a distant owl.

The artist's brush moved across the canvas with a keening grace, expressing her deep longing for freedom.

The eagle soared in the sky, keening its majestic call.
