burbles
Makes brook sounds
Burbles describes the soft, continuous sound of water flowing over stones or through a narrow channel—a bubbling, gurgling noise.
By extension, people burble when they talk rapidly and incoherently, often with excitement: She burbled on about her vacation plans.
The word captures both the pleasant murmur of a brook and the breathless tumble of enthusiastic speech.
