02.22.04: bzzzpeek

I have a slightly unhealthy fascination with onomatopoeia and foreign languages. Individually, eh, they're both interesting, but combined... oh the sweet sweet bliss of an obscure triviality.

Having exhausted my supply of easily accessible immigrants, I was recently thrilled when a friend sent me the following:

bzzzpeek is presesenting a collection of 'onomatopoeia' from around the world using sound recordings from native speakers imitating the sounds of mainly animals and vehicles.

This project focuses on the pronunciation and comparison of these sounds by presenting them side by side as each language expresses them differently. Bzzzpeek.com is an interactive experience inviting everybody to contribute.

Now that's the sort of thing the web was meant for, folks.

Heh heh... this site's hilarious. What's great fun is to try to click on all the objects before the first one finishes making noise.

Are you kidding? The web wasn't made for onomatopoeia! The Internet Is For Porn! (Sorry, but it's Real format).
