"oomph" for effort

Do you sigh, grunt, or otherwise vocalize when getting up from seated positions (whether getting up from chairs, getting out of vehicles, standing up after sitting or lying down on the ground)? If you do (or someone you live with does), when did you start doing so and do you feel like vocalizing happens when you need to exert more effort?

I noticed that I started to make noises getting in and out of cars in my mid 30s. Just now, I was getting up after being on my belly on the carpet to get a good shot of one of the cats, and I made "ooof" noises as I got up. I know I have let my yoga practice slide since the pandemic started, but I made these kinds of noises even when I was more limber and stronger. Is it the mini, everyday version of the grunt that competitive weightlifters make?
