Don't take my word for it but I'm pretty sure you're right.Even though I've only seen it in mdbg and perakun as the sound of a child crying,I have seen poddies often use it as a "wow" and also I recall John saying in a podcast [just can't put my finger on which one it was at the moment] that it sounded like wow and something about this being a universal type sound [or pointing out that it was a little different].
I suppose as Henning has pointed out recently that Chinese beds are very hard,this may have made them not inclined to go to the step of human mattress dominoes.I think the next development along this line I'd like to see is one of those faith healers that puts their hand[s] on someone's forehead and with powerful words [and a little nudge] they fall to the ground as the devil leaves them and they are healed.Now if he could just get the congregation lined up dominoes style,he could get the whole lot sorted in one shot and maybe even get a record to boot.

Would love to see a similar attempt to this carried out in a swarovski crystal factory....

funny you should write this because I've been meaning all day to put in a request for a QW on onomatopoeia when I was able to write the Hanzi and time to post.
