: Re: How do you convey nonverbal utterances? Like when you get irritated and say "tch" for example. I'm looking to do this in a 3rd person narrative context.

Best way is to treat it as verbal and use what are called interjections, words that have no grammatical meaning but convey emotions. So many different words convey these utterances:

tch
um
ugh
gah
eh
huh
argh

The list can go on and on. Here's just one partial list of interjections.

A possible alternative is to convey it through the way the speech is delivered, such as "He snorted", and "he tutted", but this strikes me as a poor replacement.
