"thunk"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunk

Ah but it says, "The term originated as a whimsical irregular form of the verb think." but without citation. Hmm, I dimly recall some hacker wag saying something like, "it's the sound of a continuation hitting the stack"...

Maybe "plonk" counts? https://en.everybodywiki.com/Plonk_(Usenet)
