Is it permissible to wake a friend by clapping on Shabbat?
Answer
There is a disagreement on this matter, and one who is lenient has authorities on whom to rely.

The Mishnah Berurah (Siman 339, Se'if Katan 9) brings a disagreement about whether it is permissible to produce an unpleasant sound. However, the Mishnah Berurah (Siman 338, Se'if Katan 1, Se'if Katan 2, and Biur Halacha there) writes that the prohibition applies only to pleasant sounds and in a musical manner.
