What sound do make use if you don’t know what word to say?

Hey! I’m doing a thing where I’m trying to find what sound each native of a language makes when they don’t know the next word or are trying to think of it.

Like as a Jew, I know a lot of Israelites go “Ehhhhh” (closed soft palette).

I’m from Quebec, and so we kind of do a mixture of Eh, Ew, eahhhhhhh.

I’ve heard Koreans go “Ohh” in a deep tone.

So I’m trying to research and see what people do! So if you could leave what you do, and what your native language is, I would so appreciate it!

Edit: It’s called “Filler Words” or in this case “Filler Sounds”!!
