chattery

Full of prattle

Chattery describes something full of chatter—light, rapid, often trivial talk.

It can characterize a person, atmosphere, or sound: a chattery crowd at the café, the chattery noise of birds at dawn.

The word suggests continuous, animated but insubstantial conversation, with a slightly dismissive edge.
