Caught recent rattling noise (7)
I believe the answer is:
clatter
'rattling noise' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'caught recent' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'recent' becomes 'latter' (I've seen this in another clue).
'c'+'latter'='CLATTER'
(Other definitions for clatter that I've seen before include "noisy commotion" , "Jangle and crash" , "Rattle" , "Repeated rattling noise" , "(Make) a rattling noise" .)
