clanging
Loud bell sounds
Clanging is the present participle of clang—to make a loud, resonant metallic sound: church bells clanging, the clanging of pots and pans.
In psychiatry, clanging refers to a speech pattern where words are chosen for their sound rather than meaning, often involving rhymes or puns: The patient's clanging made conversation difficult to follow.
