Keening

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

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

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 sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.

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