Keening

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

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

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.
