Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

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

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