"Sorry?" is the most polite;
"Huh?" and "What?" are just casual questions;

I would definitely recommend using sorry if you are in public or want to be polite.

@Polyglot_Person But people here often use “huh””what?” when they don’t understand me even in public..
Is it because I’m a foreigner and they don’t think they have to be polite??
Even a receptionist at a hotel used huh and scowled just now, when I asked a question, I felt he’s a little bit rude..

Yeah, I don't understand why people are racist.
But yeah, the most polite would be (and the receptionist should have used) "Sorry?"
"Huh?" and "What?" are used mainly in speech with friends, family, people you generally know and are kind of close to.

@Polyglot_Person You think it’s because I’m an Asian foreigner who can’t speak English well? I don’t wanna assume that he is racist.

You CAN speak english well. I perfectly understood you in the audio. Many people are just raised not really saying “sorry” and not using polite terms, so sometimes it’s not really like they’re trying to be rude.

In my opinion, I don’t think he was necessarily racist, but he just wasn’t being very polite. Also, some people find very little difference whether they use “sorry” or “what”, but they probably still know that “sorry” is more polite. But saying “what” may just come more naturally.
