well, the def of 哽咽 strongly suggests sobs, it seems, everywhere, but the def of the supposedly equivalent 梗咽 goes more like "哽咽。因悲愤而气结喉塞。"

looking at a lot of examples, some of them are definitely sobs, but a vast number are like
声音一阵哽咽 with a catch in her voice
Diff:
- 哽咽 哽咽 [geng3 ye4] /to choke with sobs/
+ 哽咽 哽咽 [geng3 ye4] /to choke with emotion/to choke with sobs/
