Keening

The keening sound of the ambulance pierced through the silence of the night.

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

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

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 injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.
