The first syllable is sounded with two vowels: noo'en; the double "a" in the second syllable represents a long ah sound; the last syllable is pronounced like "pock", except with the "k" coming from 'way back on the soft palate - the phonetic term would an unvoiced uvular plosive, if that's any help. (Imagine a small tablet has stuck to the back of your soft palate in a public place. Now try to dislodge it discreetly; ie without sticking your fingers in your mouth or actively gagging. That's the sound you're after.)
So: noo'en-naahr-poK.
