How to describe jew`s harp sounds

by Dainius Jucius

Hello!
Dear colleagues, how do you describe Jew 's harp sounds in your native language?
For example in English language "boing boing", in Lithuanian "peu peu" and so on.
Any languages and words are welcome.
Thank you for your attention.

    In Denmark probably a lot of different descriptions. But I guess the most widely spread one is very close to the English, namely "Doing-doing".

    Kind regards

    in Poland three sounds at the moment I come to mind.
    "brzdęk brzdęk", "pę pę" and "plum plum" - (not plum like fruit).

    Greetings.

    Ask your listeners, especially children, how do they describe Jew 's harp sound.
    With best wishes,
