'angry sound' is the definition.
'growl' can be an answer for 'sound' (growl is a kind of sound). I'm not sure about the 'angry' bit.

'quarrel in central puglia' is the wordplay.
'quarrel' becomes 'row' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'central' says to take the centre.
The middle of 'puglia' is 'gl'.
'row' placed within 'gl' is 'GROWL'.

'of' is the link.
