English term or phrase: choking noise
Clarity went into her bathroom and I heard her making a choking noise and I smelled the sweet toast. She was vomiting again. Her head was in the water bowl, which she refreshed a few times before standing up and looking at her teeth in the mirror. Then she stood on the small box. “Ninety Nine point three,” she moaned. “I hate myself.”

давящиеся/спазматические звуки


Explanation:
буквально это "удушливый шум", но по-русски не говорят даже "шум удушья" в случае приступов тошноты. Это скорее давящиеся, или спазматические, звуки.

услышал, как она давится


Explanation:
Я бы вообще здесь от "звуков" ушел, чтобы не громоздить.

У choke есть значение "давиться":
2) давиться, подавиться
choked with the bones — подавившийся косточками
