Murr

While "murr" lacks widespread usage in standard English, it is often used, and is considered an informal word, to describe a soft, low, rumbling sound, similar to a purr, especially that made by a cat. More broadly, it can also suggest a contented or murmuring sound, a gentle, low noise, or a state of being generally satisfied and self-contained. The exact connotation relies on the context, but it implies a quiet, almost soothing vocalization, or a state of gentle contentment. The word evokes a sense of coziness and relaxation, mirroring the feeling of a cat's purr. The term carries an overall sense of quiet contentedness, making it perfect for describing relaxed situations.
