Keening

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

The women of the village gathered to keening when they heard the news of the shipwreck.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The haunting sound of keening echoed through the village as news of the tragedy spread.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.

The keening mother held her child's lifeless body, overcome with grief.
