Examples
Very loud music is coming from inside the room.
Has the news of their marriage come out yet?

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe the act of someone telling a secret to another person, which would be 講或者話. It specifically describes the movement of sound or news from a hidden or enclosed space to the outside.
