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.

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

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