No. onomatopoeia has to do with sound. I agree, but if you use words like WHAM, BOOM or BANG, then, it becomes an onomatopoeia.
technically, it is an onomatopoeia sound, but its not a word, and an onomatopoeia is a word which sounds similar (colloquially/vocally) to its meaning.
In "The Last Olympian" by Rick Riordan, an example of onomatopoeia is when Percy Jackson describes the sound of a monster approaching as "thump, thump, thump," creating a sense of tension and suspense in the scene.
One example of onomatopoeia in "The Tell-Tale Heart" is the sound of the old man's heart beating loudly, which is described as "thump, thump, thump" as the narrator becomes more and more agitated by the noise.
Sure! "Buzz" is an example of onomatopoeia because the word imitates the sound of a bee buzzing.
"Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor" is straightforwardly onomatopoeic imitation of the old singer's keeping time with his foot as he sings and plays the piano. A number of explosive consonants and especially the "p" sounds are imitative of the plinking of piano keys. The "z" sounds and "n" sounds, so plentiful in the poem, are evocative of the old singer's droning voice.
The verb 'to thump' is 'cogner', the sound (onomatopoeia) in French could be 'paf' among other sounds. Voir: - http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onomatop%C3%A9e

Yes, there is onomatopoeia in "The Tell-Tale Heart." For example, phrases like "thump-thump" and "rump-rump" are used to mimic the sound of the protagonist's increasing heartbeat as he becomes more anxious and paranoid.
