Keening

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

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

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

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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

The sound of keening could be heard from afar, drawing people to the funeral grounds to pay their respects.
