clangoring
Making metallic noise
Clangoring describes the act of making loud, resonant, metallic sounds—the kind produced by bells, gongs, or heavy machinery.
It's the present participle of clangor, conveying ongoing or repeated harsh ringing.
The clangoring of church bells filled the valley.
The word suggests sounds that are not merely loud but insistently reverberating, often to the point of being overwhelming or intrusive.
