Onomatopoeia
Onomatopoeia is the use of a word that sounds like what it means—whose sound imitates its meaning. Examples of such words are buzz, hiss, murmur, thud, sizzle, whirr, and rustle. Animal sounds—such as woof, moo, and meow—are other examples of onomatopoeia.
Onomatopoeia is used to create musical effects and to reinforce meaning. It is an important element of poetry, but it is also used in prose.
