Onomatopoeia is the term for a word created with the purpose of describing a particular sound. The word should phonetically imitate the sound it is describing. Some examples of onomatopoeia include 'meow' (the sound a cat makes), 'pitter-patter' (the sound rain makes as it lands), 'splash' (the sound something makes when it lands in water), and buzz (the sound a bee makes during flight).

An Onomatopoeia is any word that has been created to represent a sound. This could be the sound an animal makes such as "quack" for a duck or "bark" for a dog. It could also be a sound made by an object such as the "tick" of a clock. Another example in nature might be the "crash" of the waves on a beach.
