Keening

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

The keening cry of the sirens warned us of the approaching storm.

The keening sound of sirens filled the air as the ambulance rushed through the city streets.

The keening wail of the sirens signaled the approach of a dangerous storm.

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

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.
