jangly
Like loose keys
Jangly describes a harsh, discordant ringing sound—the noise of keys rattling, cheap bracelets clacking, or an out-of-tune guitar.
In music, jangly often characterizes the bright, chiming guitar sound of 1960s pop and later indie rock: that jangly Byrds sound.
The word can also describe frayed nerves: I'm feeling jangly after too much coffee.
