Keening

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

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

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

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

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