Oh My Dear, It is 'O..Uuu...mmmm....'. It is praNava sound. Now praNava is samskrut with saMdhi of praaNa + vaha which means carrier of praaNa, Life Energy. It is the sound generated when air is blown into an open pipe other end of which slowly closes. It is similar to blowing of soap bubbles - a representation of the creation of BhrahmaMda.
