Can clanging radiators harm a cat's hearing?

I've been interested in adopting a cat, however my new apartment's radiators can be very loud at times. Like someone's hitting them with a hammer. I think I'm finally starting to get used to it myself, but I've found it to be very bothersome myself. But my hearing is hardly as sensitive as a cat's hearing. So I'm concerned that beyond just scaring the cat (which it may get used to), the loud clanging will cause physical harm.

How concerned should I be about this, and should it stop me from adopting a cat from a local rescue?
