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

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

The keening of the grieving widow touched the hearts of everyone present, evoking a sense of empathy and compassion.
