High-pitched sound made by hikers when shaken? (6)
I believe the answer is:
shriek
'high-pitched sound' is the definition.
'shriek' can be an answer for 'sound' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'high-pitched' bit.
'by hikers when shaken?' is the wordplay.
'hikers' can be anagrammed to 'SHRIEK'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'made' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shriek that I've seen before include "Howl" , "Shrill cry or scream" , "Utter high-pitched cry" , "Sharp piercing cry" , "Short piercing scream" .)
