Keening

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

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

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

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.
