Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.

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