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.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

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

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