Bombinate is not the bomb

trickykittyWe've (the roomies with whom I work, and I) decided that we have to come up with a proper word for something that just about everyone does.
I was making noises. Specifically, I was touching my tongue to the top of my palette and making "Ta Da Teh Ta" etc. noises while recreating the tune of a song to myself. I wasn't humming with the lips closed and I wasn't actually singing the words, so neither of those are exactly fitting. I wasn't necessarily trilling, and bombilate and bominate are synonyms for humming.
Needless to say, after searching thesaurus.com, we cannot find a word that matches with what I was actually doing.
