The word you are looking for is ONOMATOPEIA. Buzz is a word so is sizzle. The pronounciation of the word corrosponds to the description.
Alliteration is the use of several words to describe.............short sharp and shipshape etc.

Similar vowel sounds = assonance.
Similar consonant sounds = consonance.
The words you're looking for are "Figurative Language" I think.
Onomatopoeia = the words that make the sounds eg, WHAM! ZOK! POW! etc.
At least that's what's taught in 7th form English.
