Terrible anger with bill sound familiar? (4,1,4)
I believe the answer is:
ring a bell
'sound familiar?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'terrible anger with bill' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'anger'+'bill'='angerbill'
'angerbill' is an anagram of 'RING A BELL'.
(Other definitions for ring a bell that I've seen before include "Contribute to ding-dong" , "What door-to-door salesman's wont to do" , "stir a distant memory?" , "Advice to cyclist" , "as may 1A [SHEEPISH] part of 27 [WETHER-BY]" .)
