In the language that would have been spoken by Moses or Noah? Having it phonetically written would be nice, i.e. Allah = Ah-Lah

It is unknown. Speaking the name was ok for awhile, but later, it was only allowed at certain ceremonies. The best guess so far is "Yahweh", but not all scholars agree.
However, most scholars agree that "Jehovah" is not the name because they understand how the error in translation led to this name.

Therein lies a tale:
The precise pronounciation is not assured.
Jews had 2 practices:
1- They never included the vowels when they wrote something.
2- They gave in to the idea that God's name was so holy, it was a sin (eventually) to pronounce it.
That's why Jesus said what he said at John 17:6.
What we know for sure are the consonants:
YHWH.
Some pronounce it: YaH-WeH.

ANY HYH Yahweh Elohim or in English it is written I AM the LORD thy God. Elohim is plural of Allah meaning the fulness of God.
Allah is written in Daniel and also can refer to the false God or abomination of desolation.
Most of the Old Testament names of God is Yahweh Elohim, the El Elyon (Most High) and is the everlasting name of the God of Israel.
I AM means all existant.
Elohim means God / Gods.
Yahweh means everlasting breath

Nobody knows for certain. We only have the consonants written. The "vowel sounds" are a best guess.
YHWH
Yah-weh or Yah-vey.
There is no "J" sound in Hebrew...and the "W" can be pronounced as either "w" or "v"

Y@hovah {yeh-ho-vaw'}
Jehovah = "the existing One"
1) the proper name of the one true God
a) unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of 0136
AV - LORD 6510, GOD 4, JEHOVAH 4, variant 1; total times in the KJV=6519

The name is YHVH with two vowels. The name is never spoken; so you would need to ask a Jew to say the name.
They are never supposed to say it.
