A dull, heavy sound, especially one made by metal or machinery.
Clunk describes the noise produced when two solid objects knock together awkwardly, most often something mechanical like a car door, a gearbox or a loose engine part. It sits close to clonk in meaning but usually points to something more solid or metallic than a soft bump. From the noun comes the informal adjective clunky, used for anything bulky or badly designed. Clunk also works as a verb, as in the old lift clunked shut behind them.
