Troublesome sentence: The clatter disguised the door opening, but Punk heard it thump closed.

Dangling Modifier y/n

I'm thinking yes because "clatter" is the subject, so the pronoun "it" refers back to that, rather than door. Right? Or, is the sentence okay because "door" and "it" are both objects in clauses that could stand alone?
