Gads about with the big noises (7)

I believe the answer is:

rackets

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

'noises' is the definition.
(racket is a kind of noise)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for rackets that I've seen before include "Walled-court ball game" , "illegal activities" , "Organised crime" , "Stringed bats or loud sessions" , "Those taken to court" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
