I’ll stick with my tradition of highlighting choices in red.

The MEH bracket  
Zing vs. Buzz  
Chirp vs. Eek  
Fizz vs. Splat  
Quack vs. Oink

The WHOOSH bracket  
Zoom vs. Crackle  
Croon vs. Twang  
Flutter vs. Sizzle  
Screech vs. Jangle

The SQUEE bracket  
Babble vs. Whimper  
Cackle vs. Squeal  
Snicker vs. Hoot  
Jabber vs. Murmur

The TWEE bracket  
Aargh vs. Whomp  
Boing vs. Ding-dong  
Thunk vs. Oof  
Ka-ching vs. Harrumph

Random observation: More tiles featuring such high-scoring Scrabble letters as **J** , **K** , **Q** , and **Z** would be required in a “sound effects only” version of the classic board game.

We’ve got a couple of ties going, so I’m going to leave the voting open for another day in hopes that we get some more people voting – hopefully one, three, or five of them …
