      You might already know but Japanese has a fantastic variety of “sound words”. They describe sounds, emotions, vibes, etc. Anyway - I’ll leave this here…

      JAPANESE ONOMATOPOEIA: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE

      EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THOSE WEIRD SOUNDS YOU KEEP HEARING

      It’s information overload plus there’s no romaji - English language equivalents. But for anybody interested in it - it might be a great place to start and bookmark.

      Example

      どんどん drumming

      In other words “dondon” or “don don”.
