Keening

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

The singer's voice soared in a beautiful keening note, captivating the audience.

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

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

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.
