buzzings
Droning background noises
Buzzings refers to multiple instances or sources of a low, continuous humming sound—the kind bees, electronics, or excited crowds produce.
The word often suggests a surrounding atmosphere of activity or chatter: The buzzings of the fluorescent lights drove her crazy.
It can also describe the sensation of mental noise or agitation: the anxious buzzings in his head.
