There are two separate versions of the exclamation. "Ooh" as an exclamation is generally the same as the colloquial "Ooo" which now dominates. Both have a single long OO sound (also used for some long U words) as in two, cool, and moon.

The distinction is that "ooh" can also be a verb (oohed and aahed, oohing) while "ooo" is just an exclamation.
