Onomatopoeia 

The word 'onomatopoeia' comes from the combination of two Greek words, one meaning 'name' and the other meaning 'I make,' so onomatopoeia literally means 'the name (or sound) I make.' 

That is to say that the word means nothing more than the sound it makes. 
Many onomatopoeia words appear in comic books to model the actions of the characters.  They also often end in exclamation marks to model excitement or action.

    Pow!    Boom!    Bam!    Whoosh!    Bang!    Ka-Boom!    Zoom!    Splat!    Boing!
