Keening

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
