I'm looking for a word, and I thought it was something like sussation, that means the a sound like wind through the leaves of trees. I searched several dictionaries under Suss- and found only "sussultatory" which has to do with the change in the oscillations of sounds, but isn't quite the word of which I was thinking. So now I think it must start with "Syss" or "Soss"; I'm hesitant to start another long search. So I'm hopefull someone here in answer land will know the word for which I'm searching.

You sort of answer your own question: the word "rustle" itself is onomatopoetic. However, I agree that there could be a more evocative way of expressing the sound you want. The Spanish word for this is beautiful and perfect: "susurro". Consider using it.

There is a word 'cessation' which means to stop or cease. I looked in the thesaurus for rustling onomatopaeia and found that rustling itself is onomatopaeia. They suggested whir, whish, swoosh, cracklee and crinkle.
