Can we dialoguify sounds? By dialoguifying I mean turning something that shouldn't be put in quote when that something correspond to sounds into a dialogue by putting it between quotes and treating it as a dialogue.

For example:

> "Bang, bang, bang, pow." Celine banged on the door. "Bang, bang, pow, pow." she continued. "Bang, bang, bang."

What are some alternative ways of doing it?
