Keening

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

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

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

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

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