Where was onomatopoeia used in Macbeth?

The witches' chant in Act IV, Scene I includes several instances of onomatopoeia:

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good.

The words "toil," "trouble," "bubble," and "blood" all mimic the sounds they refer to.
