Keening

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

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

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

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

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

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