Keening

The haunting keening of the wind through the trees added to the eerie atmosphere of the haunted house.

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

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the busy street.

The old house was rumored to be haunted, with ghostly keening heard at night.

As the casket was lowered into the ground, the mourners erupted in heart-wrenching keening, expressing their sorrow.

The keening sound of the foghorn guided ships safely through the thick mist.
