Poe uses vivid and grotesque imagery to describe the sound of the old man's death in "The Tell-Tale Heart." He focuses on details like the sound of the old man's groan, the thumping of the heartbeat, and the description of the dismemberment. These details create a sense of Horror and revulsion that make the death scene sound disgusting to the reader.
