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 lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

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

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
