I often find myself scratching my head about writing out a particular sound. I know a few but was wondering if there are some standards followed in writing. Heh, of course there are, but rather than searching for them it's sooooo much easier for me to crowdsource from here.
I'm particularly keen on finding out how would you write the sound of a phone ringing or a buzzer going off. I know you can just describe the action, but you needed to actually write out the sound, how would you.
So, I know a few,
Thinking- Hmmnn
Moaning- Mmmmm
yes- Mmhmm
say what?- huh?
hesitation- er/ um
stupid- d'uh! / d'oh!
relief- phew!
Disgusting- euuuugh/ ew
a squeaky mouse like scream- eek!
angry- argh!/ grrr
disgusted- ugh!
fapping- ungh ungh ungh
calling for attention- Oi!
incredulity- sheesh! (would jeez be acceptable as a sound, or is it a word?)
Eureka- Aha! (or should it be a ha! or aaah?)
Please add to this thread with any sounds you can think of. Thank you!
