• roar
• woof
• bang
• pop
• hiss

Alliteration is when several words in a row begin with the same sound. [You may have some words in between alliterated words that don’t start with the same sound as long as they don’t interrupt the sound pattern.]
Example
The snake slithers secretly across the sand.
Repetition is when one or more words are repeated to show urgency or importance.
Example
Stop, stop, stop!!
