Keening

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 patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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

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