Psithurism...

... is the sound of wind in the trees and rustling leaves, and comes from the Greek word psithuros, which means whispering.

(Just to let you know I had originally said that I thought the 'p' was silent when you pronounced the word. However Evie has quite rightly rapped my knuckles and put me straight on this matter!)
