Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

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.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
