'early indications of dissatisfaction' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'slum bring change' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'slum'+'bring'='slumbring'
'slumbring' anagrammed gives 'RUMBLINGS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rumblings that I've seen before include "Rumours" , "Deep sounds as of thunder" .)

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