Like sotto voce (commenting softly so that the third-person subject of the comment cannot hear the comment),
but spoken loudly with the intention that the third-person subject will hear that he is being spoken about.

A reversal of sotto voce: sotto-sotto intended to mean a loud voice.

Example:
Person 1 speaking to person 2 with person 3 in ear-shot (the subject of the remark):
In sotto-sotto voce: "Someone doesn't know their place!"
