Cacophony, Alliteration

Cacophony:
a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds
Billy Joel was able to get a good nights sleep, despight the cacophony of Quinns car scraping by.

Jabberwocky: by Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


Alliteration:
The repetition of the initial consonant. Normally at least two in a row.

"..Great bodies beating at its beautiful walls...". The B sound in this alliteration gives a sense of the battle sounds, or beating sound that Beowulf created during his battle with Grendle. ."
