Fan opinion — sell-out sounds annoying (5,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noise pollution

'sounds annoying' is the definition.
(noise pollution means annoying or disruptive noise)

'fan opinion sell-out' is the wordplay.
'fan' is an anagram indicator (letters must be fanned around).
'opinion'+'sell'+'out'='opinionsellout'
'opinionsellout' anagrammed gives 'NOISE POLLUTION'.

(Other definitions for noise pollution that I've seen before include "that's unwelcome to hear" , "Harmful din" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
