The Proto-Indo-European root is *gal- "to call, shout". The suffixed form *gal-so- became Old Church Slavonic гласъ glasŭ "voice", then Russian глас glas "voice", then гласность glasnost' "publicity, openness". The Proto-Germanic form *klat- became Old English *clatrian, then Modern English clatter.
