croonings
Gentle vocal murmurings
Croonings are instances of crooning—soft, low, sentimental singing or humming.
The word often describes gentle vocalizations meant to soothe: the croonings of a mother to her baby, late-night croonings from the jazz club downstairs.
It can also refer dismissively to saccharine vocal performances.
