Trumpets opinions, well-argued, very, very loudly (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
sounds off
'trumpets opinions' is the definition.
(to sound off is to give one's opinions)
'well-argued very very loudly' is the wordplay.
'well-argued' becomes 'sound' (sound can mean valid or well-founded).
'very' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'very loudly' becomes 'ff' (short for fortissimo, 'very loud' in music).
'sound'+'so'+'ff'='SOUNDS OFF'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
