What does シャリン mean here?


So, I have this sentence:

身動きすると、シャリンと涼やかな音が鳴り響く。

And I have no idea what シャリン is doing here. As far as I can tell, it's
modifying 音, sound, but the only word "シャリン" that I've been able to find is
車輪, which means wheel. I thought maybe it could be an onomatopoeia, but I
couldn't find anything when I searched...

Has my dictionary failed me? Or am I misunderstanding the と particle somehow?
The only thing I can think at this point is that the sound is clear/refreshing
(涼やか) like a wheel, which seems kind of weird to me.




First off, you should have mentioned what the thing is that is making the
sound シャリン. That is the unmentioned subject of this sentence.

> " As far as I can tell, it's modifying 音, sound.."

No, it is not. It is modifying the verb 鳴り響く.

> "the only word "シャリン" that I've been able to find is 車輪, which means wheel"

Why would anyone write 「車輪」 as 「シャリン」? If it were 車輪、how would you explain the
「と」?

It is an onomatopoeia and when you see a 「と」 attached to an onomatopoeia, it
**_always_** modifies a verb.

「シャリン」 is not such a common onomatopoeia. The best I could describe it is that
it is the sound it makes in your mouth when you bite into lotus root. It is
crisp and moist at the same time. (If you do not have a Japanese kind of ear,
it might not sound シャリン even if you had a chance to eat lotus root.)

It is also used to describe the sound made when someone draws a sword in a
drama or film (if not in real life).

シャリン is less metalic than チャリン (clink).

I know I am not giving you what you want to hear; hence, my first paragraph
above.
