Keening

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

The old woman's keening wails pierced the quiet night, mourning the loss of her husband.

As the funeral procession passed by, the mourners let out keening wails of grief, filling the air with a somber atmosphere.

The mother's keening could be heard as she grieved over the loss of her child.
