clangoured

Made metallic noise

Clangoured is the past tense of clangour, the British spelling of clangor.

To clangour is to make a loud, resonant, metallic sound—the kind produced by bells, gongs, or heavy machinery.

The word suggests sustained or repeated noise rather than a single strike: The church bells clangoured across the valley.

It carries a somewhat literary or formal tone compared to simpler alternatives like clanged or rang.
