Slight coughing sound (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ahem

(Other definitions for ahem that I've seen before include "Throat clearing sound to catch attention" , "Gentle utterance to attract attention" , "Cough to draw attention" , "Exclamation attracting attention" , "Attention-getter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
