That is NOT a complete sentence!
Maybe try:
CRACK! goes the sound of the whip as it slaps against the backs of the slaves.
Or
The whip goes CRACK! as it slaps against the backs of the slaves.

I would keep the order as you have it, which grabs the attention of the reader. But here is a corrected sentence so that you don't use an incomplete one.
CRACK! The sound of the whip yells as it slaps against the backs of the slaves.

not a complete sentence, it doesn't have a verb in the right place, a suggestion would be CRACK! goes the whip as it slaps against the backs of the slaves.
or
CRACK! screams the whip....
yells the whip...
hisses the whip...

O- or.
Y- yet.
S- so.
Crack! The sound of the whip ( add an ominetopea- sound of things) buzzes, as it slaps agressively against the backs of the slaves.

It's more of a style argument than anything
