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.

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 aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
