Many animated characters have surprisingly noisy eyes. One can't blink in a cartoon without making all variety of noises. Most likely, these evolved from depictions of blinking in non-moving Sequential Art. Rather than devoting whole panels to a character moving their eyelids up and down, the artist would apply an onomatopoeia or an Unsound Effect to get across the point that the character is blinking. Manga tended to use "piku", while western comics used "blink blink". Somehow these "sounds" carried over into animation. Anime characters make sounds like "poit" or something vaguely reminiscent of "piku". Western cartoon characters make a "plunk" or "plink" sound. In many cases for the latter, the standard Stock Sound Effect for this is Hanna-Barbera's "Xylo Eye Blinks", which as its name suggests, was achieved via the use of a xylophone. These sound effects are usually reserved for intentional blinking, the blinking that indicates confusion or incomprehension. Often, Eyelash Fluttering of the more cartoony kind is combined with a xylophone tinkling sound. Frequent, involuntary blinking (like the kind you're doing right now) is left silent, because it would be very distracting otherwise. Unless, of course, said involuntary blinking is a twitch. A subtrope of Wacky Sound Effect. Compare Mickey Mousing, Filling the Silence, and Wink "Ding!" (adding sound effects on winks instead of blinks). Examples |

Zorak on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Cartoon Planet, and The Brak Show would sometimes make an audible "plunk" noise when he blinked. One skit on Cartoon Planet had Space Ghost making fun of this: "Loud-eyes!" In another skit, Space Ghost tries to get Zorak to teach him to make the same noise. All he could manage was a comical squeak. Zorak explains what his problem is: Which makes no sense when you think about it, but that's probably part of the joke. Space Ghost actually does replicate it in a episode of Coast to Coast, causing Zorak to retort, "Hey! That's my sound effect! I'm suing!" At one point Zorak blinks in rapid succession for a few seconds.''plunkplunkplunkplunkplunkplunkplunkplunk..." |

Emporio Ivankov in One Piece has an attack called "Death Wink" ("Hell Wink" for the improved version) which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin; blinking so hard it produces a shockwave. During the beginning part of the Fishman Island Arc in the anime, Caribou has his internal monologue and his internal laughter is only brought to a halt when Franky, who finds him, blinks twice, alerting Caribou to his presence, and slinks into his barrel. |

Piston Honda has squeaky eyebrows as an audio cue for one of his attacks. The Wii remake gives Mr. Sandman a distinct squeak when he winks before throwing one of his powerful, lightning-fast uppercuts. This is your cue to punch him in the face before he does the same to you. It's also an Internal Homage to the first Punch Out, where Mike Tyson would wink before throwing out fast straight punches, which did not give an audio cue, only a visual one. |

Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls both use plinks for eye blinks and violin chords or swishes for eye movements, as part of a whole repertory of stock in-house cartoon sounds. Probably used on lots of other Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Productions shows as well. | |
