The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

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

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

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
