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.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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

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