Keening

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 haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.

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

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