clatterings
Loud metallic sounds
Clatterings are instances of clattering—loud, rattling sounds made by hard objects striking together repeatedly.
The word captures both the noise itself and the action producing it: the clatterings of pots and pans from the kitchen, distant clatterings of construction equipment.
Less commonly, clatterings can refer to rapid, noisy chatter.
