If the action is low it will hit the frets when you strum hard, simple as that.

Clank.

It doesn't mean it's high enough. He could have done nothing for all you know. If he did lower it, it will clank. If he turned the truss rod, he could lower the action, clank.

Try restringing the string.

I just had the same problem, don't know why really but after I restringed it (take it off, put it on) it worked.
