clanked
Sounded harshly metallic
Clanked is the past tense of clank, describing the sharp metallic sound made when hard objects strike each other: The chains clanked as he walked, She clanked her mug down on the table.
The word suggests something heavier and more resonant than a clink, less musical than a clang.
