clangours
Resonant metallic sounds
Clangours is the British spelling of clangor's plural—loud, resonant, metallic sounds.
Church bells produce clangours; so do foundries and shipyards.
The word suggests sustained or repeated ringing rather than a single strike: The clangours of the cathedral bells filled the valley.
