Keening

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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