"You know I can hear you, right?" (4)

I believe the answer is:

ahem

(Other definitions for ahem that I've seen before include "Cough to draw attention" , "Excuse me!" , "Expression of disapproval" , "Utterance of mild disapproval" , "Sound used to attract attention" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
