No, no, no - it's nothing like that. I'm looking for a word (as a crossword setter I should have it but I honestly have no idea).

There's a sound made when you blow air through your lips and they vibrate against each other. Typically, it's something you do to express boredom or mild frustration. Horses do a similar thing, but obviously not for those reasons!

Is there a name for the action/sound?

I think 'nicker' comes close although the dictionaries are bit vague - either 'neigh' (which is not the same) or 'characteristic sound of a horse' (which is also vague).
Snicker?
Fricative ?
I think Slaney has it @ 11.36.
Yes as she said, same thing.
Demonstrated here...
