Keening

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

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
