    It's onomatopoeia. "Pitter patter" is the sound a mouse makes when scurrying across a wooden floor.

    <a href='http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=pitter' target='_blank'>Pitter</a>: \Pit"ter\, v. i. To make a pattering sound; to murmur; as, pittering streams. [Obs.] --R. Greene.

    <a href='http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=patter' target='_blank'>Patter</a>: pat·ter (ptr)
    v. pat·tered, pat·ter·ing, pat·ters
    v. intr.
    To make a quick succession of light soft tapping sounds: Rain pattered steadily against the glass.
    To move with quick, light, softly audible steps.

    Or, as this is probably a question asked in the context of the 1.1s changelog, it's a gorge.

    They aren't so silent when the walk. They make noise in addition to the usual grunts. (it isn't a new ability)
