*Cough, cough* (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ahem

(Other definitions for ahem that I've seen before include "Attention-grabbing expression" , "call attracting attention" , "Throat clearance to attract attention" , "attention-seeker?" , "Sound made when clearing throat" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Washington Post.
