tinks
Light metallic sounds
Tinks is the sound of small, high-pitched metallic strikes in quick succession—like ice cubes hitting glass or wind chimes in a breeze.
The word captures the light, delicate quality of the sound: The tinks of silverware echoed through the empty dining room.
Also the third-person singular of tink.
