Sometimes represented as Tch Tch or Tut Tut, Tsk is more a vocal sound than an actual word, and "pronounced" by forming a T-sound, but then sucking lightly on the palate. People only say "Tisk tisk" as a parody of the actual sound, making fun of the act of disapproval or shaming.

TSK TSK” is the sound created when you hit your tongue against the roof of your mouth / back of your teeth.
It is a sound most Indians resort to when they are speechless and / or wish to convey they are sorry about something, typically a bad news / the poor state of affairs in the country – death, famine, epidemic, the likes!
