Disorderly rise in volume is irritating (8)
I believe the answer is:
tiresome
'is irritating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'disorderly rise in volume' is the wordplay.
'disorderly' is an anagram indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'volume' becomes 'tome' (a tome is a large or heavy book).
'rise' is an anagram of 'ires'.
'ires' inserted within 'tome' is 'TIRESOME'.
(Other definitions for tiresome that I've seen before include "Fatiguing, tedious" , "Trying, vexatious" , "Exasperating" , "wearing" , "Meteors I find annoying" .)
