Keening

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

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

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

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

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
