A “fanfare” in musical terms is a short
piece signifying perhaps the arrival of an important person, or preceding an
important announcement.
When you arrive home and announce “I’m
here”, that is a fanfare. I suppose
someone smelling your bad breath or smelly feet when in close proximity to you
is also a fanfare, but those instances are rarely referred to in those
circumstances.
I heard a loud muffler once coming from
an ancient Volkswagen. That definitely
was a fanfare.
Just saying.
