Keening

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

The keening voices of the choir conveyed the deep sorrow of the funeral service.

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The somber, keening notes of the bagpipes filled the air at the memorial service, evoking a sense of solemnity and remembrance.
