Actually, I think I like "ghum" better, if it can also mean "sound
which alerts you (to do something)" and not just refer to an
emergency alarm sound. I knew about "QoQ" but wouldn't have thought
of using it. However, if a Klingon hears and unidentified sound, I
would still like to know how he would say "What was that
sound/noise?"
