    I don’t think either of them qualify as an onomatopoeia word. I have drip. What causes a dip sound? Thank you for making me think about the words. Hope you stop back.

This is for the CREATOR of this list:

Dear CREATOR OF THIS LIST,

I’m sorry to say that you zoomed past a word often used in comic books.
And that is POW. I’m also not aware that “poop” is a example of onomatopoeia. I’m not saying “poop” isn’t a onomatopoeia example but I just didn’t know it was one.

Other than that… I LOVE YOUR LIST. It is very helpful to me. Thank You.

- Hi. Rette here. Just came across this site and was browsing through the comments. If you’re still trying to think of some examples starting with i, how about ich (or ichh or ick) or ichy (or icky), like when something is perhaps slimy, sticky and gross, like a slug, a girl might say “Ich – I’m not touching THAT! It’s so icky!”

    Icky is an awesome word, but not a sound, so it would not fit on an onomatopoeia list. That easy to do. I should do a list of word that are just plain fun. If I do, I will make sure icky is on there.

thank you for compiling this list! so many of these escaped my mind and it definitely helped me with my poetry with an onomatopoeia/rhyming motif.

if you needed more, there’s swish (like swish sway), clack (click clack), slosh (slish slosh) etcetc.
I haven’t checked yet, but if you made a combo list, that’d be amazing too :)!

Onomatopoeia are very fascinating! The fact I like most about them is that onomatopoeia differ greatly from language to language. So, for instance, animal-related onomatopoeia are not the same in every language. A dog makes ‘bow wow’ in English, however it does ‘wuff ‘wuff’ in German.

Thanks for this list… You didn’t add crash though.. that one was pretty basic. But either way this will help me, that’s 176 onomatopoeia’s right there!

Why isn’t Microwave on this list? I’m pretty sure it’s an onomatopoeia and Dan Howell said it was so it is but you just didn’t put it on the list. Person that made the list.. Please respond!

- An onomatopoeia word is a word that is the imitation of a sound. The formation of words whose sound is imitative of the sound of the noise or action designated, such as hiss, buzz, and bang.
  
  Microwave is not a sound.

But there’s just one thing…
I’m looking for a word for a sudden, small movement, like “jerk” except more small.
Could you help me out here?

I disagree with some of these;
Chatter

Yikes
Flutter
Trickle
Etc.

There are plenty here that don’t make sense to being an Onomatopoeia.

Went through some of the comments and suggestions, and I strongly vote for including

Drizzle (Ben Frank) – a whisper of rain
Gong (Bianca)
Scribble (Ihanson) – doesn’t it have a paper-scratching feel?
Shatter (Coolamon)
Wheeze (Jessica) – seems to have a raspy, asthmatic sound..
Gulp (ND) – your list includes ‘glup’

Anyway, I really like your list, Kate, and appreciate the good work. Most interesting!

Ur list helped me a lot so I think u should make other list too. R u a teacher? Did u make the list just for u or for everyone to see and for it to help others? It is okay if u don’t want to answer these questions but I want u to at least answer if u r a teacher. I hope to hear from u soon. Also at the moment I am a 6 grader. Thanks again for the list it was helpful.
