Be sure the back plate is on all the way (check from a side vantage point if it is level with the other valves).
Proper lubrication can also reduce noise, you may need a heavier oil for the spindle bearings if the clearance is larger than average or the horn is older or worn out. Cleaning should smooth out the action, not reduce clanking...
Use a repair tech if the above points in this thread don't correct the problem.

Re: Clanky Valves
Could it be possible that I just need to get my linkages replaced?
