Keening

The keening whistle of the teapot signaled that the water was boiling.

The keening wind howled through the cracks in the old, abandoned house.

The keening wind whistled through the empty streets.

The piercing sound of keening could be heard from miles away, signaling the loss of a respected community leader.

The wind howled through the empty streets, creating a keening sound.

The keening of the wind could be heard through the cracks in the old wooden cabin.
