You most literally say: r-r-r-r-r-r-r… when you're playing. Two tips: make sure that the growl is backed up with a powerful and fast airstream, and never growl the same pitch in the same octave that you're playing - they tend to cancel each other out, and all you get is this gurgling sound.
hmm practice makes perfect. Dont give up.

The easiest way to do it is to make sure that your mouthpiece has a nice wide tip opening, then while you are playing the note, you hum. It doesn't matter what note you hum, but that's how you do it. Easy to describe, harder to do.
Keep practicing, it gets easier!

Yep, just hum. Experiment buy varying the pitch.
