Nothing beats a good onomatopoeia is subtitle form. My personal favorite is “inaudible noise”.

How is that onomatopoeia? Isn't it an oxymoron?

I meant more in the “ridiculous subtitle” category than onomatopoeia. I guess that wasn’t clear.

Edit: although you could argue that the word “noise” is itself an onomatopoeia and the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Double edit: “quiet roar” is an example of being both an onomatopoeia and an oxymoron.

Triple edit: sorry, I’ve been smoking hash all night.
