The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the sidewalk.

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The keening of the steam whistle signaled the departure of the train from the platform.

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

The keening sound of the foghorn guided ships safely through the thick mist.

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