the narrator will be charged with the murder
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.
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator insists on their sanity while describing the meticulous planning of a murder, which suggests a distorted perception of reality. Their obsessive fixation on the old man's eye and the subsequent guilt manifesting as a hallucination of the beating heart indicate a profound psychological disturbance. Ultimately, the narrator's inability to recognize their madness points to a complex interplay between sanity and insanity, leaving readers to question the reliability of their perspective.
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator insists he killed his neighbor because he was driven to madness by the old man's "vulture-like" eye, which he found intolerable. He claims that the act was not born of hatred but rather a desperate need to rid himself of the eye that haunted him. The narrator's obsession culminates in the murder, which he believes will free him from his torment. However, his guilt ultimately manifests in the form of the imagined sound of the old man's heart, leading to his confession.

The narrator
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," sensory details enhance the story's tension and atmosphere. The narrator describes the "vulture-like" eye of the old man, invoking a visual sense of dread. Sounds play a crucial role as well, particularly the incessant beating of the heart, which becomes a psychological torment for the narrator. Additionally, the oppressive darkness of the old man's room creates a palpable sense of anxiety and fear throughout the narrative.

The sound that drives the narrator to confess the crime is a heart; (the heart of the man he killed or the his own?)
