Keening

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

The horror movie was accompanied by a soundtrack of keening voices, adding to the creepy atmosphere.

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 eagle soared in the sky, keening its majestic call.
