Back in Oz for a bit, run out of Thai newspapers so I got some kids books from the library and came upon this:
A young girl is walking along a pathway when..เสียงจักรยานปั่นดังก่อกแก่กมาจากข้างหลัง
'the sound of a bicycle churning loudly(sound?)came from behind her.'
I'm assuming the underlined part is imitating a sound but the use of tone marks seem redundant to me.
Literary licence perhaps.
