annoys

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'audible is provoking' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'a din' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'din' becomes 'noys' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an'+'noys'='ANNOYS'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for annoys that I've seen before include "Narks" , "Harasses, pesters" , "Nettles" , "Irritates, bothers" , "Irks, vexes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
