Keening

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

As the fog rolled in, a keening foghorn warned ships of the treacherous rocks ahead.

The old graveyard was filled with the sound of keening voices as mourners gathered to pay their respects.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

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