The ɢᴏᴏꜱᴇ vowel phoneme /uː/ is an English vowel phoneme consisting of the vowel sound English speakers use in its keyword goose.[1]

Words in the ɢᴏᴏꜱᴇ lexical set are pronounced with this phoneme.

The standard pronunciation in both RP and General American is as a close back rounded vowel [u]. Geoff Lindsey points out the sound is a slight diphthong and uses the symbol instead and should be /ʉw/ [2]

After /uː/ speakers use linking /w/ to avoid hiatus.

It becomes merged with the ꜰᴏᴏᴛ vowel phoneme in the ꜰᴏᴏᴛ–ɢᴏᴏꜱᴇ merger.
