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

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

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.
