'loud cry' is the definition.
'cheer' can be an answer for 'cry' (I have seen 'Cry of approval ' mean 'cheer' so perhaps 'cry' could also mean 'cheer'). I'm unsure of the 'loud' bit.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "Give comfort or support to" , "Lift the mood" , "Cry of approval" , "Jolly" , "one in three, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
