Just wondering what the “essence” of ballern is. Is it to do with something producing sound or is it more the idea of doing something forcefully and fast?

Great question.
My personal feeling was it’s more about sound than action, but action would make sense too.
I looked it up on DWDS now and they say it ties in with “poltern” and is onomatopoetic.
I’ve added some family now.
