whang

Loud metallic clang

Whang is the sound of a sharp impact or twang—metal striking metal, a bowstring releasing, something snapping taut: The screen door whanged shut.

As a verb, to whang is to strike with force or make such a sound: He whanged the wrench against the pipe.

The word has onomatopoeic energy, suggesting sudden, resonant impact.
