verb/bʁɛ̃ɡ.ba.le/

to sound, ring, chime, ding; to ring, sound, chime; to rattle; to rattle along, rattle about (move, making a rattling or jolting sound)

A combination of Latin ballare and a family of Middle French words beginning in *brimb-, esp. brimber (“to beg”), which give the sense of "wandering to and fro". Likely influenced by Middle French trinqueballer (“to chime a bell”), itself from Middle French triballer (“to wander”) (modern French trimbaler).
