Hearing no noise coming from The Nag's Head? (5)

I believe the answer is:

neigh

'noise coming from the nag's head?' is the definition.

'hearing no' is the wordplay.
'hearing' shows a homophone (sound like).
'no' becomes 'nay' (I've seen this before).
'nay' sounds like 'NEIGH'.

(Other definitions for neigh that I've seen before include "Whinnying sound" , "Animal noise (expressing 3?)" , "The noise of a bay" , "Comment from Arab" , "Comment from stallion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
