Shoot up, sounding angry (4)
I believe the answer is:
soar
'shoot up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'sounding angry' is the wordplay.
'sounding' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'angry' becomes 'sore' ('sore' can be similar in meaning to 'angry').
'sore' is a homophone of 'SOAR'.
(Other definitions for soar that I've seen before include "Increase rapidly" , "rise dramatically" , "lift" , "go high" , "Rise; sounds like painful" .)
