Keening

The mourners swayed and chanted in a keening rhythm, honoring the memory of the deceased.

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

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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