Murmuringly

In a way that expresses something in a low, indistinct, and continuous sound, typically of disapproval, complaint, or subdued conversation. This implies a soft and hushed vocalization, often indicating uncertainty, private communication, or an expression of discontent that is not openly stated. It suggests a lack of clear enunciation, the voice barely audible, and conveying an atmosphere of secretive behavior. It is used to describe both human and non-human sounds like whispering, rustling of leaves, or gentle running water, capturing the subtle nature of the noise.
