A series of short, quick high-pitched sounds

A rapid linear motion of a particle or of an elastic solid about an equilibrium position.

To talk rapidly, incessantly, and on trivial subjects; jabber.

A periodic process.

To utter a rapid series of short, inarticulate, speechlike sounds

A single complete vibrating motion; a quiver.

To click quickly and repeatedly

(Informal) A distinctive emotional quality or atmosphere that is sensed or experienced by someone. Often used in the plural

Talk, especially meaningless or unimportant talk.

A limited reciprocating motion of a particle of an elastic body or medium in alternately opposite directions from its position of equilibrium, when that equilibrium has been disturbed, as when a stretched cord or other body produces musical notes, or particles of air transmit sounds to the ear. The path of the particle may be in a straight line, in a circular arc, or in any curve whatever.
