A noise you hear in your head though not mad (5,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
sound in mind
'not mad' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'a noise you hear in your head' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'noise' could be 'sound' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'sound' is found within the answer.
'in' is within the answer.
'head' could be 'mind' (synonyms) and 'mind' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'though' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
