Keening

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

The keening cries of the bereaved could be heard at the gravesite.

The mourners' keening filled the air as they bid farewell to their beloved friend.

The keening of mourners echoed through the somber church as they bid farewell to their beloved pastor.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
