thrums
Makes low vibrations
Thrums are the fringe of warp threads left on a loom after fabric is cut away, or any similar short loose threads or fibers.
The word extends to any frayed or tufted edge.
As a verb, to thrum is to strum or pluck strings idly, producing a low continuous sound: She thrummed her fingers on the table.
A cat thrums when it purrs.
