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.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.

The character in the horror movie let out a keening scream that sent chills down the audience's spine.
