rattling/ jingling/ jangling/ clattering/ clacking/ banging/ clanking Explanation: rattling/jingling/ jangling/ clattering/ clacking/ banging/ clanking -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2014-08-12 20:50:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- All these alternatives are correct and you can choose freely from them. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2014-08-12 20:52:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.onelook.com/?w=rattle&ls=a http://www.onelook.com/?w=jingle&last=jinggle&loc=spell1 http://www.onelook.com/?w=jangle&ls=a http://www.onelook.com/?w=clatter&ls=a http://www.onelook.com/?w=clack&ls=a http://www.onelook.com/?w=bang&ls=a http://www.onelook.com/?w=clank&last=clanck&loc=spell1 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2014-08-12 21:03:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I tended to choose words that give the meaning of shaking, moving and also making loud noises. All my posted alternatives give this meaning. The verbs "shake", "Joggle"and "jiggle" and "wiggle" also make sense; but they do not give the meaning that such movement makes noises. Good Luck! |
