droningly

In tedious monotone

In a droning manner—with a dull, monotonous, continuous sound or tone.

The word typically describes speech delivered without variation in pitch or energy: He read droningly from the manual, putting half the room to sleep.

It can also describe persistent background noise: The air conditioner hummed droningly through the night.
