purrer

Vibrating happy feline

A purrer is someone or something that purrs—typically a cat, though the term extends to any creature or mechanism producing a similar low, continuous vibration: The old cat was a champion purrer.

Figuratively, a person who speaks in a soft, contented, or seductive manner might be called a purrer.
