To hit or strike something, producing a dull, heavy sound.
Clonk is an informal, mainly British word, close in meaning to clunk and bang, and is imitative in origin, shaped to resemble the noise itself. It often describes someone bumping an elbow, a knee or a low doorway rather than a serious impact. Clonk can also work as a noun, as in a clonk from the next room, not only as a verb. Compared with clunk, a clonk usually feels softer and less metallic, closer to a bump than a mechanical knock.
