(en) a low, indistinct continuous whispering sound; a murmur
* by Ambrose Bierce
*:The rain was now falling more steadily, with a low, monotonous susurration , interrupted at long intervals by the sudden slashing of the boughs of the trees as the wind rose and failed.

*:Coming in feels almost like going out - an audible breeze threatening to swell into a blizzard, waves breaking and withdrawing, the open air tuned to so many sounds that your own are absorbed in the rise and fall of murmurs, shouts, susurrations , plosives, stutters and echoes - and above them all, like Prospero, the voice of the artist humming to himself as if thinking (or not thinking) aloud.
