Crossword Genius

Girl created sounds (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maid

'girl' is the definition.
(maid is a kind of girl)

'created sounds' is the wordplay.
'created' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'create').
'sounds' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'made' sounds like 'MAID'.

(Other definitions for maid that I've seen before include "Female servant - young girl" , "Female domestic servant" , "Young woman - servant" , "Serving girl" , "daughter?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
