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.
1/ Tsk Tsk! You're far too young to smoke!
2/ Tsk tsk, Tracking mud inside? I'm telling on you!
