clearing throat into microphone
a single sharp dry cough
a wet productive cough
a deep chesty cough that takes a moment to recover from
a stifled cough caught behind a closed hand
a small polite cough into the fist
a coughing fit lasting several seconds before settling
a suppressed cough that escapes anyway
a cough followed by a throat clear and recovery breath
a dry tickle cough, quick and repeated twice
a cough caught mid-sentence, speech resuming after
a full violent sneeze
a barely contained sneeze, stifled at the last second
a sneeze immediately followed by a sharp inhale
a double sneeze in quick succession
a triple sneeze with no time to recover between
a sneeze that was clearly building for a while
a small delicate sneeze, almost ladylike
a loud uncovered sneeze
a sneeze followed by a groan of mild embarrassment
a slow deep sigh of exhaustion
a sigh of resignation, air escaping slowly
a sharp frustrated sigh through the nose
a contented sigh, the kind after setting something down
a sigh of relief, tension leaving the body
a trembling sigh on the verge of tears
a long theatrical sigh of impatience
a short clipped sigh of mild irritation
a slow meditative exhale with purpose
a barely audible sigh beneath the next breath
a long slow deliberate inhale before speaking
a sharp quick inhale of surprise
a shaky inhale while trying to stay composed
an inhale catching as if at sudden pain
an inhale of preparation before something difficult
a slow breath in held for a moment then fully released
an audible breath in through the nose
a slow exhale through pursed lips
a quick exhale of exertion
a shuddering exhale on the edge of crying
a yawn breaking through mid-thought
a yawn that takes over completely for two seconds
a stifled yawn, jaw tight, eyes watering
a small involuntary yawn followed immediately by embarrassment
a polite yawn covered by a hand
heavy panting from physical exertion, several breaths
fast shallow panting, catching breath after effort
panting slowing gradually to normal breathing
two or three breaths of hard physical recovery
a single gasp of sudden shock
a gasp of sudden pain
a gasp of sudden delight
a long gasp held as a beat of silence
a quiet gasp, almost inaudible, just caught
a hiccup, single and sharp
two hiccups in quick succession
a hiccup interrupting a word mid-syllable
a hiccup followed by a small embarrassed laugh
a hiccup that clearly catches the speaker by surprise
a belch, full and unguarded
a small suppressed belch barely held back
a quiet belch followed by a sharp exhale
a belch immediately followed by a muttered apology
a sharp throat clear
a deep productive throat clear
a delicate throat clear, barely a sound
a throat clear at the start of speaking
a repeated throat clear, something not shifting
a long low chuckle, barely audible
a single quiet heh, wry and dry
a short snort of laughter through the nose
a burst of genuine laughter, three or four seconds
a full belly laugh, building and uncontrollable
a laugh caught and suppressed, shoulders shaking
a giggle breaking through seriousness
a giggle building into something bigger
laughter trailing off into a sigh
a laugh that becomes a cough
a snort-laugh, undignified and real
a laugh cutting off sharply
a quiet laugh to oneself, almost private
a polite social laugh, measured and brief
a hysterical laugh with an edge of panic
a single sob, sudden and caught
a sob that shakes the whole frame
quiet crying, trying not to make a sound
a sharp intake of breath before a sob
crying that keeps interrupting speech
a sob that resolves into a long exhale
tears breaking through a controlled voice
the sound of someone catching themselves before crying
sniffling, once
sniffling repeatedly, trying to hold it together
a loud nose blow
a quiet discreet nose wipe
a sniff to hold back tears
a deep sniff of something in the air
a quick sniff of curiosity
an mmmm of deep satisfaction
a long drawn-out mmmmm of pleasure
a satisfied mmm after tasting something
an mmmm of genuine agreement
a short sound of consideration, hmm
a long deliberate hmm of deep thought
a skeptical hmmm, rising and falling
a hm of mild surprise
a knowing hmm, things clicking into place
a hum of a few notes from a song, then stopping
a hum of contentment, quiet and continuous
a brief hum of a melody line, trail off
a wordless melodic moan of pleasure or satisfaction
a low groan of effort while lifting or pushing
a groan of exhaustion, full body
a groan of mild pain
a groan of frustration, drawn out
a groan that becomes a resigned sigh
a sharp grunt of exertion
a grunt of acknowledgment, single syllable
two short grunts of effort
an ugh of disgust, short and definite
a long drawn-out ughhh of revulsion
a sharp eugh of surprised disgust
a single tsk, disapproving
a double tsk-tsk with a pause between
a long slow tsk trailing off
a tongue click of frustration
a rapid double tongue click of impatience
a lip smack of thoughtful consideration
a dry lip smack from a parched mouth
a single audible swallow
a nervous swallow before speaking
a hard gulp of something going down
a gulp of anxiety
a sharp audible sniff of suspicion
an audible swallow mid-word
a quiet whistle of surprise, two notes
a low whistle of admiration
a whistle cut off suddenly
a few bars of whistling a melody, then stopping
a raspberry blown in pure dismissal
a long sustained raspberry of contempt
a sharp pfff of disbelief through the lips
a pff sound of mild exasperation
an ow of sudden pain
a sharp short ouch caught quickly
a long ow held and then settling
a quiet oh of recognition
a small oh of mild surprise
a big round oh of genuine shock
an ahhh of sudden understanding
an ah of satisfied realization
an ahh of relief or pleasure
an ugh of disgust with full commitment
a single sharp ha of sarcastic laughter
a hah of sudden recognition
a shiver that shakes the voice
a shudder visible in the breath
a sharp flinch sound, breath and posture
a held breath suddenly released
breath held for three full seconds then exhaled slowly
the catch and recovery of breath after laughing too hard
the catch and recovery of breath after crying
a sharp intake through clenched teeth in pain
breath quivering on both inhale and exhale
a low moan of anxiety or dread
a small whimper barely audible
a whimper catching in the throat
a sound of effort from standing up or sitting down quickly
a sharp sound of accidentally biting a cheek
the swallow and reset before continuing after emotion
a snort of disbelief through the nose
a sharp scoff, breath and sound together
a dismissive exhale through the nose
a long patient exhale of someone choosing their next words
a sharp inhale of someone about to disagree
a quiet sound of someone smiling, breath soft and open
the catch of breath of someone unexpectedly moved
a wavering inhale on the edge of breaking
a sound of effort from something physically resistant
a sudden burst of syllables that aren't words, then stopping
humming a single rising note of uncertainty
a sound of deep concentration, almost a low drone
the small percussive sound of lips parting to speak and then not
a brief melodic phrase hummed then abandoned mid-bar
a short beatbox pattern, two or three seconds
a mouth percussion sound, tongue and lips
a drawn out mmm-mmm of disagreement without words
a single definitive mmm of agreement
the long resonant hum of someone warming their voice
a sound of suppressed excitement, small and fizzing
a surprised sharp sound like catching something dropped
a sound of effort from something snapping open or clicking
the vocal percussion of a single bass hit sound
an exhale with a slight voice in it, almost a hum
a sigh that starts as a word and becomes just breath
