A word whose sound seems to express or reinforce its meaning words that imitate a is?

The term you're looking for is onomatopoeia.

Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what it is named.

Here are some examples:

* Bang - the sound of a loud explosion

* Meow - the sound a cat makes

* Buzz - the sound of a bee

* Sizzle - the sound of food cooking

* Tick-tock - the sound of a clock
