Keening

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

The keening wail of the baby echoed through the nursery, causing concern among the caregivers.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
