Listen to "Koch"
Google Translate
Google's service, offered free of charge, instantly translates words, phrases, and web pages between English and over 100 other languages.
Although it's not really how a German would pronounce "Koch", it gives you an idea of "ch" in this case.
The "o" is pronounced much shorter, the emphasis is on "ch" and it sounds very definite.
The sound originates at the uvula and is a short version of the gargling of e.g. mouthwash or a weak version of it when you pull up snot from your throat.
It has nohting to do with "cock" or "core"
