Keening

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
