Keening

The sound of keening pierced the silence of the night, a heartbreaking lament for the deceased.

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

Her keening wails echoed through the funeral hall, filled with sorrow.

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 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.

The collective keening of the crowd created an atmosphere of deep sorrow and grief.
