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.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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