Keening

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
