Onomatopoeia is a disease characterized by making the sound associated with animate and inanimate objects. Persons afflicted with this disorder with say "Gush!" when someone is bleeding profusely from an open wound; cry out "Kerplunk!" when a clumsy child falls on his head; and yell "Squeak!" when a restaurant patron lets out a methane bomb. Closely associated with Tourette's Syndrome, Onomatopoeia is a troubling illness afflicting more than 5% of the world's population. There is no known cure.
Tennyson was among the most famous sufferers of this baffling disorder:
The moan of doves in immemorial elms,
And murmuring of innumerable bees.

It is a literary device where the poet uses a combination of words to create the sound of the object being discussed. Poe was famous for using this device in his poem, "The Bells." In each stanza he is speaking about a type of bell, and the words he uses are supposed to create the sound of the bell.
