pop, bang, squeak, whoosh, creak, swish
Onomatopoeia, other than a popular spelling bee word, is any word that sounds like a noise that something makes. For example, a mouse goes squeak.

I think 'tinker' may just qualify. It's a person who works with tin plate, and if you ever hear any one doing that, the sound of the hammer on the tin goes 'tink, tink, tink,...'
