Rang the bell — finally noise faded outside (6)
I believe the answer is:
pealed
'rang' is the definition.
(pealing is a kind of ringing)
'noise faded outside' is the wordplay.
'noise' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'faded' becomes 'paled' (I've seen this in another clue).
'outside' is an insertion indicator.
'e' placed within 'paled' is 'PEALED'.
'the bell finally' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pealed that I've seen before include "Sounded like the loud ringing of bells" , "produced claps" , "Rang out loudly" .)
