Keening

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

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

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

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