Keening

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

The horror movie was accompanied by a soundtrack of keening voices, adding to the creepy atmosphere.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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