This clue might be a double definition.

'sounded' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'fed up talking about team' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sighed that I've seen before include "Exhaled softly and sadly" , "Sounded dejected" , "Expressed wordless sorrow" , "Showed exasperation" , "Made yearning sound" .)
