Keening

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The old woman's keening pierced the night as she grieved the passing of her only son.

The sound of keening echoed through the empty halls of the castle.

The keening smell of rotten eggs indicated a gas leak in the basement.

The eerie keening of the siren warned the residents of the impending storm.
