EN: rattle, loud knock, clatter
This is the sound your door makes when someone's knocking like they're the police with a warrant. It's the sound of the water delivery guy dropping the blue container. It's the 'ghost' in the attic that's probably just a rat. Louder than a 'kalansing', less rhythmic than a 'kalampag'. It's the sound that makes you jump and say, 'Ano 'yun?!'
Onomatopoeic.
Describes a heavier, looser, and often more irregular sound than 'kalansing' or 'katok'.
