Other than the title, The Telltale Head being a play on The Telltale Heart the similarities lie in The Telltale Heart having the narrator, who is presumably the murderer, being haunted by the sound of the victim's beating heart. Bart, who is also the narrator of The Telltale Head briefly, is haunted by the voice of Jebidiah Springfield.

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.
Poe made the decision to use a dark and macabre tone throughout his works, which adds to the eerie and sinister mood. The use of this tone helps to create a sense of suspense, horror, and unease among readers, making his stories both chilling and captivating.
