I can make a couple of zaghareet-type noises, but I don't know how authentic they are!

In my dance community, the dancer won't zaghareet but the audience will, as applause or encouragement for an amazing movement!

First noise - I've heard it in Arabic pop music - you vibrate your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It will make a purring kind of noise, then add the high pitched call to get a nice loud sound.

The second is a little more difficult (for me, anyway), which is more like creating a leh-leh-leh noise as fast and as high as you can.
