noisy adj.: clangorous (n.: clangor)
My freedom [living in a Swiss apartment in the 1970s was limited.] Often, no showers are permitted between 10 P.M. and 7 A.M. No toilets may be flushed during those hours, either. When relieving themselves, men are expected to sit. (Is it the likelihood of an errant drop that so offends? Or the clangorous tinkle?) (Alexander Wolff, Big Game, Small World, Warner Books [2002], p. 54.)
