onomatopoeiate 

1. The act of taking the vocalization of sounds and putting them in the form of the written word.

Onomatopoeiate (n), onomatopoeiating (v), onomatopoeiated (adj).

Used primarily to describe the sounds musical instruments make. For instance, the famous adult film guitar sound would be onomatopoeiated with the words "bow chicka wow wow" because that is a rudimentary description of the sound made by the guitar.

Animal sounds, suck as meow, bow-wow, woof, moo, and so on are also examples of onomatopoeating words.

Japanese Onomatopoeias 

words to describe sounds, often simple phonetic combinations of letters.

in japan, it's much more a serious thing, where hundreds of thousands of words are created for some of the most seemingly useless sounds ever, but then, it becomes fun, and even practical at points.

even actions recieve sounds, and states of being, suchas being complete exhausted (hetoheto), or expressing physically surprise (hatto), even when said actions make no sound.

examples of Japanese Onomatopoeias:

"Fufufu"- often used to indicate the chuckling of a sinister person

"Gao"- used as a growl, many times the sound a dinosaur will make.

"don"- used to express the sound of an explosion

"ban"- the sound of something bursting

"ki"- a screeching sound

"u"- a groaning sound

"do"- often used to portray the sound of a heavy object moving

"dan"- another word to describe an explosive sound, however this word can also be used as the sound of a gunshot.

"zeze"- a wheezing sound

"jiji"- a sizzling sound

"bechabecha"- uncontrolled noisy talking

"hinyari"- to feel cold, however in a way that is not unpleasent.

"beron"- to stick one's tongue out

"kaka"- the sound of a bird's cry.

"odoodo"- to be uneasy, either from worry or from fear.

"nono"- the sound indicating that someone is stretched out comfortably and is taking a rest.
