belting

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'singing loudly' is the definition.
('belt' can be a synonym of 'sing loudly')

'hear a bell ring?' is the wordplay.
'hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'ring?' becomes 'ting' (I have seen 'Sharp ring ' mean 'ting' so perhaps 'ring' could also mean 'ting').
'bell' sounds like 'bel'.
'bel'+'ting'='BELTING'

'can you' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for belting that I've seen before include "punishment" , "Fine" .)
