Loud and grating (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strident

'loud and grating' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for strident that I've seen before include "Harsh in tone" , "Clamorous" , "Harsh, grating" , "Roaring" , "Shrill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the LA Times.
