swooshing
Sound of movement
Swooshing is the sound or motion of something moving swiftly through air or water—a rushing, sweeping noise: the swooshing of skis on snow, wind swooshing through the trees.
The word imitates the sound it describes.
Something swooshing moves with fluid speed: Cars kept swooshing past on the wet highway.
