trumpeting
Loud brass announcing
Trumpeting is the loud, resonant call of an elephant—a distinctive blast through the trunk.
The word extends to any similar sound: the trumpeting of geese overhead.
More often, trumpeting means loudly proclaiming or announcing: He's been trumpeting his accomplishments to anyone who'll listen.
The word carries a hint of self-promotion or boastfulness.
