jingle-jangle
Keys in pocket
Jingle-jangle is a jangling sound—the noise of small metal objects striking each other repeatedly: the jingle-jangle of keys, the jingle-jangle of her bracelets.
The reduplication with vowel change (jingle to jangle) emphasizes the mixed, discordant quality of the sound.
It can also describe music with a bright, chiming guitar tone, as in 1960s folk-rock: that jingle-jangle sound.
