Moaning.

Like a cat in heat.
Like a mournful humpback whale.
Like a haunted garage door.
Like a car in need of new break pads.

I'm not sure if I would describe it with a simile though, if the intention is to make it clear that the moan is fake?

Otherwise I might read it as just making fun of her weird sex noises. Could be fake, or could just be odd!

Maybe "Stage moan," or "Exaggerated pornstar moan," or something like that?
 
Quick question, how would you describe a fake sounding moan? In the simile sense.

Such as, "She let out a sound more akin to a duck's fart."
That's evocative, but I question how many readers will have heard the sound of a duck passing wind. Though I imagine, aside perhaps from the volume, their farts sound much like any other creature's.

I tend to be Metaphor Minnie, not Simile Suzy, but I think I’d probably address it directly.

Assuming this is in a sexual context, something like (from a male POV):

Maggie rode me wildly cowgirl. As I thrust harder up in to her, trying to contain my excitement, trying to last for her, she closed her eyes and uttered a moan-like sound, one that I’d sadly heard before. The insecurities that her interest in me had temporarily banished came crashing back. Let’s just say that she wouldn’t be winning the Oscar for Best Supported Actress.
