onomatopoeia-
Onomatopoeia The use of words whose sounds express or suggest their
meaning. In its simplest sense, onomatopoeia may be represented by words that mimic the sounds they denote
such as "hiss" or "meow." At a more subtle level, the pattern and rhythm of sounds and rhymes of a line or poem
may be onomatopoeic. A celebrated example of onomatopoeia is the repetition of the word "bells" in Edgar Allan
Poe's poem "The Bells."
e.g. tinkle/rattle/bang/hiss/meow
ping pong
