What makes the sound knee deep in onomatopoeia?

The sound "knee deep" is not an onomatopoeia because it does not imitate a sound like words such as "buzz" or "meow." Onomatopoeias are words that resemble the sound they represent. "Knee deep" is a descriptive phrase, not an onomatopoeic word.


What causes knees to make a crunchy sound?

The noise is usually caused by one of three things: 1. The cartilage in the knee has worn a bit or pieces have chipped off due to injury or wear. This creates an uneven surface, which creates a noise as the rough pieces pull over each other. 2. The sack that holds fluid around the knee becomes inflamed, tight, or develops scar tissue. This can be from use or injury. 3. The kneecap is not aligning correctly, and scrapes as it pulls into position when you bend the leg. Two of these can be treated or improved, depending on severity, with a shot of cortisone into the knee. The other can be improved with special exercises to get the knee to pull into the correct position, a physical therapist or doctor will show you the exercises which will be customized depending on which way your kneecap is pulling. All of these require a visit to a sports medicine doctor, and at minimum an x-ray, to rule out other causes that might cause noise but be more serious and need more aggressive treatment or surgery.
