The 'r' sound imitates the tapping and rapping sound, which creates an auditory sensation that mirrors the narrative action, thereby heightening the suspense and the narrator's sense of disturbance. This technique, known as alliteration, is often employed by Poe to lend a musical rhythm to his poetry while also emphasizing particular aspects of his dark and atmospheric narratives.
