What figure of speech uses repeating consonants to make sound effects?

The figure of speech that uses repeating consonants to create sound effects is called alliteration.

Here's an example:

* "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

The repetition of the "p" sound mimics the popping and picking of the peppers, creating a playful and onomatopoeic effect.
