poof
Wand wave noise
Poof is the sound of something vanishing or appearing suddenly, often with a puff of air or smoke: The magician waved his wand and—poof—the rabbit disappeared.
As an exclamation, it emphasizes how quickly something happened or ceased to exist: One day the money was just gone, poof.
In British slang, poof is a derogatory term for a gay man, equivalent to American "fag."
