Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
