burble
Stream's gentle noise
Burble is a bubbling, gurgling sound—water over rocks, a brook through a meadow: The stream burbled past the cabin.
By extension, to burble is to speak in a rapid, continuous, and often incoherent way: She burbled on about her vacation plans.
The word suggests pleasant but meaningless noise, whether liquid or verbal.
