Onomatopoeia and its example

Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which words evoke the actual sound of the thing they refer to or describe. When a word describes a sound and actually mimics the sound of the object, persons, birds, animals, etc, it is Onomatopoeia.

For examples:
1) Frog croaks, birds whistles.
2) Water plops into pond, splish-splash downhill.

3) The bell went ding - dong.
4) The owl hooted in the tree.

5) The car horn beeped loudly.
6) A window being broken bang.

7) My teeth chattered as I stood in the snow.
8) Hissing and panting the snake came out.

9) "Buzz! Buzz!" said the honeybee.
10) The wolves howled at the moon. 

11) "Drip! Drip!" said the raindrops on my window.
12) Cock-a-doodle-do, crowned the roaster.

13) The clock goes tick-tock.
14) Don't beep that horn again.

15) Click the button to take the picture.
16) Dog barks.

17) Tring - Tring went the alarm.
