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.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

The keening voices of the choir brought tears to the audience's eyes.
