I've been spending some time trying to learn uncommon sounds from languages around the world.

From English, we have the interdental fricatives ⟨th⟩
voiced: [ð] as in "this"
unvoiced: [θ] as in "thin"

From Hindi and other South Asian languages we have the retroflex flaps ⟨ड़⟩, ⟨ढ़⟩
voiced: [ɽ] kinda like the 'rt' in "garter"
This can also be aspirated, though there's no easy English equiv.
There are lots of retroflexes around, from Dravidian influence.
