Loud insistent call oddly tender (9)

I believe the answer is:

clamorous

'loud insistent' is the definition.
(clamorous can mean loud and insistent)

'call oddly tender' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'tender' becomes 'amorous' (amorous means tender or loving).
The alternating letters of 'call' are 'cl'.
'cl'+'amorous'='CLAMOROUS'

(Other definitions for clamorous that I've seen before include "vociferous" , "Insist" , "Confusedly noisy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
