What is the word for the high-pitched "sex sound" a woman makes?

The other day I was texting someone and I was talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I wanted to say it's cute when she makes that [high-pitched sex sound a woman makes] sound when she's fighting. And I just couldn't find the right word to use that made sense.

It's easy to make the sound, and everyone knows what it is. Is there really not a word that accurately describes it? It's not a moan or a groan as far as I understand those words.

Here's an example: http://www.soundsnap.com/node/45537 (WARNING: these are sex sounds and NSFW. It's just audio, no pictures.)

The sound I'm referring to is the second and third one she makes (maybe just a little shorter than her examples).

Solution 1:

This is a tricky one to come up with one apt word without getting into various connotations:

• A moan is a low sound, generally.
• A whimper sounds plaintive or submissive.
• A grunt or a groan doesn't sound ladylike.
• A squeal sounds too drawn out.

I would be surprised if there's actually a definitive word for it. To describe the sound in that context, I might say squeak, which is a sort of cute sound.

Solution 2:

Thrifty Shades of Grey by Mari-Lou A #1

• First, she emitted squeals of delight.
• Then, lustily, she moaned her "oohs" and "ahhs".
• Finally, she heaved an ecstatic "sigh".

_{(I know, it doesn't answer the question. But I just couldn't resist myself!)}

Solution 3:

The word I would use to describe such a sound is orgasmic. Women sometimes make such sounds in "unusual" places, such as dance floors. Or in Buffy's case, while fighting.
