What is The use of words that sound like the noises they describe?

The use of words that sound like the noises they describe is called onomatopoeia.

Here are some examples:

* Buzz - the sound a bee makes

* Meow - the sound a cat makes

* Bang - the sound of a door slamming

* Sizzle - the sound of food cooking

* Splash - the sound of water hitting a surface

Onomatopoeia is often used in literature, poetry, and even everyday conversation to create a more vivid and engaging experience for the reader or listener. It helps to bring the sounds of the world to life and make writing more immersive.
