"Excuse me, but...” (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ahem

(Other definitions for ahem that I've seen before include "Half-cough to draw attention" , "Throat clearance to attract attention" , "attention-seeker?" , "Polite noise to draw attention" , "Interjection" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
