'noisy outcry' is the definition.
'clamour' can be an answer for 'outcry' (clamour is a kind of outcry). I am not sure about the 'noisy' bit.

'caught the love in paris' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'cl' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the love in paris' becomes 'amour' ('love' in French).
'cl'+'amour'='CLAMOUR'

'of the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clamour that I've seen before include "Loud confused noise" , "Noisy disturbance" , "Complaints" , "Loud noise of shouting" , "Hue and cry" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
