hummings
Wordless melodic sounds
Hummings are low, continuous sounds made with closed lips—the plural of humming.
The word captures multiple instances or types: the hummings of bees in the garden, distant hummings of machinery.
It can also refer to the activity of singing wordlessly: Her hummings filled the kitchen while she cooked.
