Keening

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 old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.
