aahing
Vocally showing amazement
Aahing is the act of making sounds of wonder, appreciation, or admiration—typically in response to something impressive or delightful.
It almost always appears paired with oohing: The crowd was oohing and aahing at the fireworks display.
The combination suggests collective, spontaneous expressions of awe.
