Jarring is an adjective, in the context of the sentence it means harsh or grating. It's quite an unpleasant sound the trumpet is making!

<u>Jarring</u> is used to describe something or someone that has a harshly concussive, disagreeable, or discordant effect. The word also makes reference to something or someone incongruous in a striking or shocking way. In this case, it describes the noise produced. As you can notice, it does not have a positive connotation in the sentence and the following sentence affirmed it: "everyone quickly covered their ears!"
