Keening

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

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

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
