Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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

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