AHHHHHHHHHHHHH yes grasshopper........
Your question is actually a coy recasting of a famous Zen Buddhist koan, or riddle, such as Zen masters use to instruct their pupils. The koan in question, devised by the Japanese Zen master Hakuin (1686-1769), is as follows: In clapping both hands, a sound is heard. What is the sound of one hand? (In casual discussion this is usually corrupted to: What is the sound of one hand clapping?)
The answer is silernce.

Since "clap" is an onomadapiea for the sound a hand make when it claps - my answer is "clap."

He crosses the bridge in fear and trembling. He does not know that the bridge is moving and the water is not.
