Sound in a clearing? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ahem

(Other definitions for ahem that I've seen before include "call attracting attention" , "Sound made when clearing throat" , "Throat-clearing noise?" , "Excuse me!" , "Gentle utterance to attract attention" .)

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