Is there a word for the sound of footsteps?
Ideophones, such as the Turkish word patir, or the Akan word yooyoo, refer to the sound of footsteps of a crowd.
In African languages, words such as peswa-peswa (Thonga) refers to the sound of a lady walking on high-heeled shoes. Keum-keum (Bamunka) is the sound of heavy footsteps produced by an irate person walking fast.
A dil dil, from the Navajo language, is the sound made by several people walking.
A Basque ideophone, txikili-txakala, is the sound made when one walks slowly but with a firm step.

Not all ideophones are onomatopoeia, but onomatopoeia are kinds of ideophones. (Indicentally, my computer keeps wanting to autocorrect "ideophone" to "videophone"). Largely subjective, ideophones include words like "chubby" (sounds like a chubby word) or "racket" (feels like a loud noise to say). My personal favorite is "broken structure," which just sounds like a crumbling, cracking mess of rebar and concrete in an abandoned parking lot.
