Dirnt, the sound of a bass guitar

Mike Dirnt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Michael Ryan Pritchard (born May 4, 1972) is an American musician, best known as the bassist, backing vocalist and co-founder of the American rock band Green Day. While at school, he would play "air-bass." While pretending to pluck the strings, he made the noise, "dirnt, dirnt, dirnt". As a result, his schoolmates began to call him "Mike Dirnt"."

Scientific study of onomatopoeia

Research has shown that onomatopoeic words activate brain regions involved in the processing of verbal and non-verbal sounds. Imitation is a fundamental biological mechanism for learning and generating behavior. But how are non-human sounds translated into speech, as in onomatopoeia, given the anatomical constraints of the vocal system? Marcos Alberto Trevisan and his co-workers at the University of Buenos Aires address this question in a scientific study modeling voice generation based on anatomical parameters.

Wub is the new oonse

Wub wub wub, nehnehweeh, YOI YOI YOI WAHBWUHB

The sounds of dubstep, a genre in electronic dance music. Pretty popular on the internet, so now and then you run into these onomatopoeia. Oonse or untz is an onomatopoeia imitative of the repetitive beat in rave music. Dubstep is newer than rave, therefore 'wub is the new oonse'.

Ah-hoo-gah! Old car horns

Hear the funny sounds of antique automobile horns. The 1912 Pierce-Arrow has that awesome cartoonesque sound, definitely a winner. If you ever hear it in real life (many hot-rods have them too) some of them are loud and you immediately recognize it. Here's another website with car-horns by the Antique Automobile Club of America, and a video of a model-A: Renfroe's Model A Aooga horn.
Thanks Doug!

New Pooh movie

Onomatopoeia plays a role in Winnie-the-Pooh. In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, writer A.A. Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply "Pooh":
"But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think — but I am not sure — that that is why he is always called Pooh."

And of course there is Tigger and Rabbit's scene around the word 'onomatopoeia'.
