The steady harmonics of your wing beat fills the air, the gentle hum as soothing as a lullaby.
Slowing your wings, your wingsong drops an octave and takes on a spiraling descent. Just as the sound threatens to fall into ranges that only a few could possibly hear, it surges into an ascent that returns it to a soothing hum.
Rising slightly in pitch, the slow flutter of your wings fills the air with a subtle hum.
You slow the vibrations of your wings somewhat, broadening their arc and dropping the resulting hum a note.

End:

You slow the movement of your wings' vibration, allowing the thrumming sound to rise and fall in a lulling cadence.
