ambulance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it has flashing lights and can be very loud' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'name a club being renovated' is the wordplay.
'being renovated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'name'+'a'+'club'='nameaclub'
'nameaclub' with letters rearranged gives 'AMBULANCE'.

'observing' is the link.
