gabbling
Fast incoherent speech
Gabbling is rapid, often incoherent speech—words tumbling out faster than they can be properly formed or understood: She was gabbling nervously into the phone.
The word suggests excited or anxious chatter without much substance.
Geese and other birds gabble too, making rapid cackling sounds.
