And we have our first tough willing suspension of disbelief.
A sharp glass-on-glass impact like what would pivot a lab stand on .. its ... tripod ... (okay, second suspension of disbelief there, that rig would have tipped over instead of pivoting from am impact to move it) anyway, a sharp glass-on-glass impact like that would get the attention of EVERYONE in the room. You hit glass sharply, and it can break. You hit TEMPERED glass sharply, and it can shatter explosively. Even someone washing up the glassware in the lab sink will leave the resto f the lab distracted as they hear the clinking , consciously dismiss it, only to have it creep back into their attention again.
But I'm willing to assume this is a 'Hollywood lab' where these things can happen.

Agreed, the sound of glass-on-glass is not soft or subtle. It would not have gone unnoticed.
Yet...
If it had been Renamon's paw/hand doing the impact, and the supporting arm were somehow supported in a way that would allow it to swing freely around the vertical shaft (which is a terrible safety standard), she might not have noticed brushing against it and should it's "low" position be over the flask it could swing back.
Although there would probably be tell-tale drips on the table top.
A better question is what is that glassware for? It resembles a "separation funnel," and in proper use any drips are accidental until the liquids being separated have settled into layers. That's not what appears to be happening here.

Well, since we're already in the realm of 'Hollywood science,' the purpose of the glassware is irrelevant. Any scientist, even an astronomer, would have a collection of flasks with Technicolor liquids in it bubbling away in his office. A chemistry set filled with statistically colored water is the only way the Hollywood pencilnecks know to show that there is SCIENCE! going on.
Incidentally, that's one of the reasons why my character settled on Alchemy as the field of Mad Science to specialize in. Flasks of colored liquid make a good 'walk around' prop for fursuiting.

Yeah, so many safety violations in setup and procedures (you do NOT make Grand, Sweeping Gestures in a lab) the only way I'm keeping myself from choking on my conniptions is to visualize this as a movie. Even a fictional world should have some safety standards if people are not indestructible in it.
