Ross

I believe the answer is:

hiss

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

'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?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
