Clanking Noise

Question:

After a late shift at EGSS. I've often walked past a lineup of parked A/C and always wondered what that strange clanking noise is that comes from the engines as they windmill in the breeze??

Fan blades touching each other, cause they are not stiff linked and have some gap in their root attachment and outer link.
