twitterings

Small birds' sounds

Twitterings are light, high-pitched sounds—the rapid chirping of small birds, or by extension, nervous chatter and excited talk among people: The twitterings of sparrows filled the garden.

The word suggests something trivial or fluttery, lacking substance: the twitterings of gossip columnists.
