Fanfare

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.
