Explanation:

Meaning: Blare - make a loud sound, Baleful - threatening, Retribution - Punishment to someone as vengeance for a wrong act, Meddling - to try changing things

Blare that means a loud sound fits best in the sentence as the further part of the sentence tells about drawing the attention of everyone in the park. This leads us to the word “Blare” which means a loud sound.
