Definition
咣当 is an onomatopoeia that imitates the loud, abrupt sound of a heavy object falling, a door slamming, or metal hitting metal — like 'crash' or 'bang' in English. You can use it as a standalone exclamation or as an adverb before 一声 to describe the sound. It often appears in storytelling or casual narration to add vividness.
