Literary notes about blaring (AI summary)
The term "blaring" in literature vividly conveys overwhelming, intrusive, or celebratory sounds that sharply command attention. It is often employed to describe everything from the literal roar of trumpets and horns that signal action or alarm ([1], [2], [3]) to metaphorical expressions of personality or aesthetic impact, as when it characterizes a striking or assertive beauty ([4], [5]).
