Playful kids here made a loud noise (8)
I believe the answer is:
shrieked
'made a loud noise' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'playful kids here' is the wordplay.
'playful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'kids'+'here'='kidshere'
'kidshere' with letters rearranged gives 'SHRIEKED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for shrieked that I've seen is " Uttered a shrill scream".)
