SOUND WORDS
One of my favorite words is onomatopoeia, one of my favorite types of sensory words... sound words, specifically words that sound like the noise being referred to.
Here is a compilation of sound words that I've appended from the list posted on Sonic Postcards. I invite you to post your own suggestions. Just so that your examples are clear, use the word in a sentence. This should be fun.
