clop
Cobblestone street sound
Clop is the sharp, hollow sound of a horse's hoof striking pavement or hard ground.
The word imitates the sound itself.
As a verb, to clop is to make this sound: The horse clopped down the cobblestone street.
By extension, any hard-soled footwear can clop: She clopped across the wooden floor in her heels.
