    How does an American pronounce it?

    A vast majority of the Canadians I know pronounce it the same way as “out”, “sprout”, “trout” etc.

      To me a standard American accent sounds like they’re replacing the OU with AW, “abawt”. Or maybe “abowt” if they pronounced it like the bow of a ship (not like a fancy knot or the weapon).
