boing
Cartoon bounce noise
Boing represents the sound of something springy bouncing or rebounding—a diving board, a coiled spring, a trampoline.
The word is onomatopoeic, imitating the twangy vibration of elastic recoil: The ball hit the rim and—boing—bounced away.
It often appears in cartoon contexts or playful speech.
