Keening

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

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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