Crossword Genius

Criticises an imposition audibly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attacks

'criticises' is the definition.
(attacking is a kind of criticising)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for attacks that I've seen before include "Charges" , "Invades" , "Assaults" , "Launches assault or criticism" , "Assails" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
