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

'squeal on a big noise' is the definition.
'report' can be an answer for 'noise' (report is a kind of noise). I am not certain of the 'squeal on a big' bit.

'on a big noise' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'a big noise' becomes 'port' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'port'='REPORT'

Can you help me to learn more?
