Loud (5)

I think it could be either:

noisy

brash

'loud' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for noisy that I've seen before include "ear-piercing maybe!" , "like thirteen [HARD ROCK]" , "Making much sound" , "Unpleasantly loud" , "Vociferous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The New York Times and the Penny Press.
