Harrumph is correctly spelled, but you don't need to write such things out if you're going to tell a story. Let the reader imagine the noises the people make when they're upset or frightened or stalling for time. Instead, show their actions - He cleared his throat several times. He ran a hand through his hair and stared at everything except the police detective. She pulled back and put a hand to her mouth, her eyes wide.
