What are the Best Noises to Make While Pushing?

I got this great email today with this question 

and while I was typing up an answer to respond to the question, 

I realized what I really need to do is make a podcast episode about this. 

So that’s what I decided to do. I did send my email with my written response, 

but here is an audio response, which I think will be more powerful.

Audio is obviously a better way to demonstrate pushing!
