'see' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'loudly struck tree' is the wordplay.
'loudly' shows a homophone (sound like) (when spoken - not silently).
'struck' becomes 'tolled' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tree' becomes 'you' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tolled' is a homophone of 'told'.
'told'+'you'='TOLD YOU'
