Now, what is an ONOMATOPOEIA?
Basically, an onomatopoeia is a word which imitates a noise or action.
For example, this sentence:
"The fly buzzed past" , the word "buzzed" is a word which sounds like a fly flying. So it is an example of an onomatopoeia.
Another example of the onomatopoeia is this: "He clattered and clanged as he washed the dishes", where "clattered" and "clanged" are onomatopoeic since they imitate the actual sounds.

The buzz of the bees sent a rush of panic through me.
The dog's bark warned the burglar to leave.
The clanging of the bells rang in my ears.
The door closed with a heavy thud.
And so on . . .

An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like what it is. I know the concept is so simple I actually didn't get it for a while.
"She wasn't looking where she was going and smacked into the stop sign."
"I opened the Coke and hear it pop and fizz."

I shrieked.
The bells jingled.
The trees whistled softly in the wind.
