Answer:

Onomatopoeia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Onomatopoeia is (in a peculiar and symbolic sense), a figure of speech that creates a word that phonetically resembles the sound that it describes. In colloquial terms, onomatopoeia is the imitation of a sound through language. One clear example of it would be the word “buzz” as it could be applied to the sound that a bee makes as it flies.
