Some of the sounds we make as humans may be utterances, grunts, whinning, wheezing, snorting... and we use those words and others for what animals do... pigs snort, lions roar, ducks quack, blackbirds caw (around here they do). All of these are quite onomatopoetic, but...
'Giggle' is such a general word for many different sounds characterized maybe by "he-he-he" (maybe not).
...what does a moose do? (I don't think I've ever heard one / crossthreading-e).

I think you were right, F, it sounds sick, unless I'm pronouncing it wrong. How's that go again, Bean?
Hiccuping
Farting
Belching

Learned in the North woods of New Hampshire from a game warden.
Male moose roar. Especially when in heat. Get away from them, they can be dangerous.
General noise is "bawl." It's ok to park the car on the roadside and watch these (generally) gentle giants munching the underbrush while the tourists take pictures. No flash pictures, please.

Speaking of moose sounds. My father was at a gathering of many deer hunters, when a prank
was played on a guy who claimed to be the best moose caller in Maine. One hunter had phonograph
recorder, very high tech just after WWI. They got the moose caller drunk, and recorded his
demostrations of his call as he got drunker and drunker without his knowing he was being recorded.
A few days later, he was told that they had a recording of the champion moose caller in Michigan,
and wanted his opinion of the Michigander's performance. They played the redording of his calls.
At first he listened with a respectful expression, which changed to a smug smile as the booze
bamboozled his bellows. After the record ended, his pronouncement was: "The last part of that
last call would have scared a moose to Jesus!"

Hmmm, musick...why do I feel like I'm stepping on eggshells on this thread? Couldn't've been triggered by anything I said?...[rolleyes-e] Bellow was the first thing that came to mind in attaching a sound to a moose....but that's probably a stereotypical caricature of the sound they truly make. Of course, a musical ensemble of meese would be a group of moosicians. (ahem) And a moose poet would be mooseful. moose sickGood'n, Faldage!  And, no!...not to be forgotten.

Musick,
Why do you want words for sounds, such as the above mentioned grunt, giggle, guffaw, gag and gang? Is this just idle curiosity, or are you perhaps composing some avant-garde piece of music in which such words are used?

He wants to become a one-person symphony orchestra, without music. But with Musick. I can just hear it. "I'm now the first violins, playing A for a quaver, Bb for a quaver, C, D, E, F for semi-quavers. E---EEEEeeeeEE. Now, at the same time, I'm a flute in the woodwind section playing F for a quaver, G for a quaver, A, Bb, C, D for semi-quavers. Tooot--toottooooooot. Now I'm the bassoon, playing the same notes as the flute and at the same time, but one octave lower. Honk, honk, honnnnnnnnnk.
Yeah, that would work.

WW - Tain't no above mentioned guffaw or gag... mehbee its some kind of 'slip' you just made... Curiosity, yes. Idle, no. Truthfully, there was so much chatting going on, I thought I'd slap myself and wake up in a werld where the werds themselves initiate the context, not t'other way 'round... kinda like putting Descartes before the horse...

splish

pish-posh (it's a stretch)
snap
crackle
pop
I'll bet there's an onomatopoeia list online somewhere that could save us a lot of trouble.

i replied to any other post and mentioned keen, and thought about it.
i can't keen unless i am truly heartbroken, if i try to do it otherwise, i fail-- but i continue, i can eventual keen, but when i hear the sound of keening, (and when i keen) i feel sad--hearing (and making the sound) effects my mood.
i remember seeing a Nova (a PBS science show) some 15 or more years ago, and it pointed out that certain sounds invoke emotional responces. (there were several studies done on it... ) cultures all over the world use certain tones, with certain lenghts, to invoke emotional responces.. Beethovens 5th, (Ba da da dumm) almost everywhere invoke gloom, terror, foreboding.. everyone hears doom approaching. other sounds, joy, others, reverence
just like Yawning is "contagious"-- some sounds are too, and the sounds can serve to change an emotional response...
i don't think the world giggle is likely to cause others to giggle, but one person giggling can soon have a whole room in gleeful mood.
in keeping with words for sounds, are there any words that sound (or evoke an emotional responce) how they feel?
--Whoops are another sound that carries an emtional responce, one of pleasure and excitement. i don't think i could whoop unless i was really charged up and happy. but the word whoop itself is flat
