Clattering sounds are a type of noise that is created by the rapid and repetitive striking of two hard surfaces together. This sound is often associated with metal objects such as pots and pans, but can also be created by other materials such as wood or plastic. The term 'clattering' is derived from the Middle English word 'clatering, ' which means to make a loud noise. Clattering sounds are often used in movies and television shows to create suspense or to indicate a chaotic atmosphere.
