Keening

The keening whistle of the teapot signaled that the water was boiling.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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 eagle soared in the sky, keening its majestic call.
