I have no idea I wondered whether the swords were 'rattled' before a battle....several hundred warriors shaking their swords to make a noise could be possible...similar to the idea of 'banging' your weapon against a shield as you march into battle....to instil 'fear' into your enemies. Or perhaps to ward off 'evil' spirits....or attract a good omen, luck or 'protective' Gods.
