Bertrand we hear making a sound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rustle

'a sound' is the definition.
(I know that rustle is a sound)

'bertrand we hear' is the wordplay.
'bertrand' becomes 'Russell'.
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'russell' is a homophone of 'RUSTLE'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rustle that I've seen before include "take animals" , "Steal (cattle, etc)" , "Steal cattle or livestock with whispering sound" , "Steal 2" , "Whisper softly" .)
