Keening

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

The keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

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

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

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