Din from hooter — I gathered (5)
I believe the answer is:
noise
'din' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hooter i gathered' is the wordplay.
'hooter' becomes 'nose' (I've seen this before).
'gathered' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'nose' enclosing 'i' is 'NOISE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "Loud or unpleasant sound" , "Static - sound" , "Uproar" , "Public talk" , "Din, cacophony" .)
