Keening

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

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

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

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

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