A man’s son making disapproving sound (4)
I believe the answer is:
hiss
'disapproving sound' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a man's son' is the wordplay.
'a man' becomes 'his' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'son' becomes 's'.
'his'+'s'='HISS'
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hiss that I've seen before include "Sound of serpent" , "showing contempt?" , "Show disapproval" , "Make disapproving sound" , "less welcome sign?" .)
