Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

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 lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
