I finally caught that sound in an utterance which I could understand.
Someone giving me directions made that sound in the word ū.
So I say that the gutteral sound is a ��. |

This sound is not nearly as strong as the one Koreans make.

I think you are right about that.
I listen to my husband talk with his mother. Hubby having been educated in France (PhD), he doesn't speak like he is always trying to clear his throat, and he is pretty calm. MIL (mother in law), on the other hand, speaks with a lot of emphasis and sometimes it drives me nuts.
I also think that women are more prone to doing it than men. |

Tzechuk, I read somewhere that women are more prone to exaggerate than men--probably to compensate for their inferior status.
That is why women tend to say "I could almost die!" |

Oooh- I hate that. It's like nails on chalkboard. Well, coughing up a hairball is more like it. I wonder if they teach you how to do in advanced Korean classes...  |
A girl at work was making that noise, and a hairball, indeed, came up.  |

| Maybe it's because I'm somewhat bilingual or completely tone-deaf, but what is this? I've asked several other English speaking people, and they don't know what I'm talking about either. Maybe another bilingual with a better ear can tell me when Korean words or situations make this sound. I just have no clue, but I am intrigued. |

Like when they try to say emphasize that something such as a building is nearly out of eyesight when pointing it out. (ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhogi!). |

Yep, and definitely ajummas much more so than agassis. Just wait until they drop that feminine mask. 
Even the most 'educated' person will do it occasionally. Personally I don't have a problem with it but it's so animal I do find it amusing. |

| There a scene in The President's Barber where Park Chung-hee lays it on pretty thick when reminiscing about his youth. |

Maybe it is a regional dialect because Park Jung Hee is from Kyungsang-buk-do province. But I still don't get it, and I'm surprised that I am not. Can you tell me what episode or where I can down load it? I think I would understand what it was if I could isolate the sound or the situation. It is linguistically interesting too because there is actually no Korean alphabet that makes that sound, so it's gotta be a morphed sound from a regional dialect, I'm guessing.
I know I'm sounding like a real nerd, but I am genuinely interested. |

| The President's Barber is a movie. The scene comes at least an hour into it I think. |

There are a few variations, but think of it as an h sound morphing into an r. Yes, it's part of the regional dialect of the Cholla provinces. My brother-in-law uses it to tease my father-in-law, who is from Kwangju. |
