Keening

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

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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