I am looking for a word that means someone/two people are talking about someone else in a way that they let the other person hear about it. Usually done to an enemy.

If there's a single word, it escapes me, B.

They were saying mean-spirited/mean things about him/her and they made no attempt [whatsoever] to keep their voices down.

That's because there is one here at home. "Parinig" (pa - to; rinig - hear); so it would mean like "to let someone hear".
