Abrupt sucking sound
Or maybe "whooshing" sound.
Also - "Shupo" is the sound kids use to imitate a steam locomotive. "Shu" is the sucking part of the sound and "po" is the pop at the end.

Popping sound
シュhas sucking sound but ポ is the popping sound. 摩擦音and 破裂音, it depends on which you focus. I think the popping or "bang" may be more appropriate for initial sound when throttle is pushed. It is a small bang.
