flatulence

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

'create noisy blasts?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'flute lance played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram.
'flute'+'lance'='flutelance'
'flutelance' with letters rearranged gives 'FLATULENCE'.

'could' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flatulence that I've seen before include "windiness" , "Intestinal gases" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
