Does it make a noise like a squashed grape? (5)

I believe the answer is:

pager

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

'does it make a noise' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'squashed grape?' is the wordplay.
'squashed' indicates an anagram.
'grape' with letters rearranged gives 'PAGER'.

'like a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pager that I've seen before include "Old electronic bleeping device" , "Radio alert device" , "This may summon one" , "One calling" , "Bleeper device" .)
