The Japanese language has a ton of awesome words for sound effects for things we don't have exact words for. I made a list of some of the more interesting ones. Read the sound and the explanation and imagine the thing making that sound. It's sort of funny.
- サクサク saku-saku: Crunching of potato chips, leaves, other crispy things.
- ニョロニョロ nyoro-nyoro: Something long and thin like a snake moving along with a wriggling motion.
- サラサラ sara-sara: Murmuring, rustling.
- ドキドキ doki-doki: Heartbeat.
- チュ chu: Kiss noise.
- プチプチ puchi-puchi: Pop pop, crackle crackle.
- プルプル puru-puru: Shake, quiver.
- ゲップ geppu: a burp.
- パクパク paku-paku: opening and closing mouth, eating, gobbling. This is where Pac-man came from!
