Keening

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

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

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

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

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

The women gathered in the cemetery, their voices intertwining in a mournful keening that honored the departed.
