I can't find out what do these onomatopeyas means...
They are:
・ ワイワイ
・ プクリ ( I really don't know if this is an onomatopoeia or not, but i couldn't find it on any dictionary )

Any help would be VERY appreciated

わいわい (adv) noisily; clamorously; many people making a din; (P)

That's a bit trickier. It doesn't appear to be in common use ... but it does seem to be a 擬音語 and it's usually used in pairs.

回転磁場の1サイクルごとにプクリ・プクリと移動していくのであった。当時は、メモリーの大容量化はバブルメモリーで一挙に解決するものと考えられていた。

車を洗って水気を拭き取っているときに何時もフロント&リアーウィンドウのステンレスモールの所からプクリ、プクリと水玉が吹き出てきます。

What was the context?
 
The プクリ appeared in the tale " Urashima Tarテカ " a very old japanese kid's tale.....I can't type the whole context right now cuz I'm in a hurry
 
・ プクリ(or プックリ - pukkuri)
something spherical(hemispheric) occur / grows larger

ex:
puff up one's cheeks(gesture of complaint)
raise dough
mosquito bite
inflated balloons
swollen abdomen

Aha. I bet プックリ is the form it's usually used with.

ぷっくり

(副)スル
丸くふくらんでいるさま。
「―とふくらむ」

... about 15 times as common 'sez google.
