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 keening notes of the bagpipes resonated through the air during the memorial ceremony.

The abandoned graveyard was filled with the keening of the wind passing through the tombstones.

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