Keening

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

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
