The term "rattled" is remarkably versatile in literature, used to evoke both literal and figurative imagery. Authors often employ it to describe the clattering and trembling of physical objects, such as when wind causes windows to shake ([1], [2]), or when the dice are rolled on a bar ([3]). It also captures the rapidness of speech, as characters "rattled on" with excitement or agitation ([4], [5]), and can denote a state of physical or emotional disturbance, evident from a character’s nervous reaction or trembling body parts ([6], [7]). Even on a grand scale, the word powerfully conveys the impact of nature or conflict, as thunderous hooves and clashing armor make the ground and surroundings vibrate ([8], [9]).
