A clap of意思

"A clap of" is often used as a prefix to indicate a sudden or loud noise that resembles a clap, typically referring to thunder. For example:

• "The sudden clap of gunfire startled everyone."

In these examples, "a clap of" is used to describe the sound as being similar in intensity or impact to a clap of hands, but in a more dramatic or startling context.
