Onomatopoeia has the effect of emphasis. Words will tell what is happening and what the imagery is, but onomatopoeia helps a reader or listener to "enter" the poem more completely in the imagination, by helping the reader to "hear" the sounds that would be present.

In other words, onomatopoeia has the effect of enhancing the reader or listener's imagination. This is generally true whether the onomatopoeia is recognized or not.
