Each language has a different phonology, or system of sounds. All words in a language must fit in with the rules and patterns of the language's phonology. For example, in English, no word begins with the 'ng' sound, though in many languages it is possible to begin words with this sound. Even though onomatopoeic words may be similar across languages, each language will form onomatopoeic words that fit in with the usual phonological patterns of the language, and these patterns differ across languages.

Where can you find names for different sounds for example sound made by mosquitoes?

The term for words that resemble sounds, such as the sounds made by living things, is "onomatopoeia." The onomatopoetic term for an animal's sound will be different in different languages. For example, in English we say "cock-a-doodle-doo" for a rooster's crow, but in French they say "cocorico." The word for a mosquito's sound is "buzz." A web page where some other examples appear in different languages is on the University of Adelaide website below-
