Keening

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The old man sat by the grave, keening softly for his departed wife.

The haunting sound of keening filled the air as the people paid their respects to the fallen soldiers.

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

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