Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

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

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
