Bewitching girl that wails loudly (5)

I believe the answer is:

siren

I believe this is a double definition.

'bewitching girl' is the first definition.

'that wails loudly' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for siren that I've seen before include "Alarm; temptress" , "Temptress; warning signal" , "Loud whistle or dangerous woman" , "Charmer" , "Alluring female" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
