whimperings
Faint distressed sounds
Whimperings are low, feeble crying sounds expressing pain, fear, or distress.
The word often suggests weakness or helplessness: The whimperings of the injured dog broke her heart.
It can also describe subdued complaints or protests that lack force: His objections were reduced to quiet whimperings.
