Keening

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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 chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
