Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
