rattlingly

In clattering fashion

Rattlingly means in a rattling manner—with a rapid succession of short, sharp sounds.

The word is rare, appearing mostly in older literary contexts to describe movement or speech that clatters or clacks: The cart rolled rattlingly over the cobblestones.

It can also intensify adjectives in the archaic sense of remarkably or extremely: a rattlingly good time.
