Traduzione e definizione
to sound off: ripetere continuamente, parlare senza sosta
Quick, let's leave before he starts sounding off about Blush and Blear again. I'm tired of listening to him telling everybody his opinion about them; it's obvious he hates politicians! Presto, andiamo via prima che ricominci a sproloquiare di Blush e Blear. Sono stanco/a di sentirlo dire a tutti la sua opinione su di loro; è ovvio che odia i politici!

Trey does not ask the caller to "shut up". The imperative command "shut up" is an impolite way to tell someone to stop talking or to be quiet. Trey is a caring and sensitive man and a real "people person". He would never tell someone to "shut up"!
The expression "cheer up" is a request to be "more happy". We often hear "cheer up" when we are sad or in a bad mood. This is not what Trey asks the caller to do here.
The imperative request to "speak up" means "speak more loudly". It can also mean to "talk freely without fear or hesitation". For example: A teacher may say to a child "speak up boy!" if they are speaking incoherently. Trey is finding it hard to hear the caller so he asks him to "speak up". "To shout" is to speak loudly, and in the imperative it can be used to tell someone to "speak up". "Shout" shouldn't be used as a command in a formal conversation.
To "sound off" means to express one's views or opinions vigorously or strongly. Example: The voters sounded off by voting out the incumbent prime minister in the election.
