a) a "grass removal machine" is a lawnmower.

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for with the rest. The actual sound of a telephone ringing is frequently written "ring ring" or "brring brring", but I don't think I can spell out the sounds of the rest. Perhaps that isn't your question!

You can mow the grass by an electric or fuel-powered lawnmower.
Sounds are quite different. I like to spend time playing with children.:-D

Ju, all of these would sound more natural to me as "This is the sound of..."

This is the sound of a telephone ringing. This is the sound of someone clapping. This is the sound of a clock ticking.

# 4, it is not a "driller" but a "drill"
drill is both a noun and a verb.
