purrers

Vibrating happy cats

Purrers are cats or other animals that purr—the low, vibrating hum cats make when content.

The term extends to people who speak in soft, soothing tones: The purrers on late-night radio lull you to sleep.

Anything that hums smoothly might qualify: those little electric purrers they call cars.
