Keening

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

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the busy street.

The keening mother clutched her child's lifeless body, unable to contain her grief.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for her father's return.

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

The keening howl of the lost child echoed through the forest, raising concern among the search party.

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