gabbler
One who prattles
A gabbler is someone who talks rapidly and often meaninglessly—a person given to gabbing or chattering without much substance: The committee meeting devolved into a room full of gabblers, none listening to each other.
The word carries mild contempt, suggesting the speech is more noise than communication.
