1. 1

    To clack is to make a short, hard sound that often keeps repeating — not a soft tap and not a deep bang. Heels on a hard floor, beads, an old typewriter, a train on the rails: those can clack. The word is also a noun for the sound itself. Next to everyday click or rattle it can feel a little old or ; click is usually one lighter, sharper sound, while clack is harder and more continuous. It is old sound-talk in English, from Middle English clacken, from an Old English verb *clacian (to slap, clap, clack), from Proto-Germanic *klakōną (to clap, chirp).
