gabble
Fast unintelligible speech
Gabble is rapid, often unintelligible speech—words tumbling out too fast to follow: The auctioneer's gabble was impossible to understand.
It suggests a stream of chatter without much substance.
Geese and other birds gabble when they make rapid cackling sounds.
The word captures both the speed and the meaninglessness of the noise.
