The most well-known example of this form of onomatopoeia is Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Bells," in which Poe repeats the word "bell" 62 times to suggest the sound of a bell ringing and tolling, despite the fact that the word "bell" does not sound like a bell ringing. However, "bell" has been called "one of English literature's most potent synonyms for alarm," so it is possible that by repeating the word enough times, one could be induced into waking from one's bed.
