Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

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

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.
