Fruit; a rude noise (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raspberry

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fruit' is the first definition.
(raspberry is a kind of fruit)

'a rude noise' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for raspberry that I've seen before include "when it's blown, show disapproval" , "Fruit; rude sound" , "Fruit - spluttering sound" , "Fruit - expression of contempt" , "Vulgar sound like small red fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
