This one's Japanese (which has a lot of onomatopoeia btw), but ki-ki-ki is the sound of a violin being played badly. I put my poor family through a lot of that when I was taking lessons as a kid. I could hear my aunts in the background saying "mata ki-ki-ki yatteru." That's basically Japanese for "there he goes sawing away again".

It's not as direct an onomatopoeia as your example, but it so perfectly encapsulates the experience of hearing the bells, bells, bells, that it counts imo

Scratching or the German equivalent Kratzen. It fits the activity and the resulting noises perfectly.

"Meow"
It's a perfect description of the sound and has a very similar spelling through a bunch of different languages
