Keening

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

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 haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

The character in the horror movie let out a keening scream that sent chills down the audience's spine.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
