Keening

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

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
