Keening

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

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

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

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

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
