I pry about that racket (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noise

'that racket' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i pry about' is the wordplay.
'pry' becomes 'nose' ('nose' can be a synonym of 'pry').
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'i' inserted within 'nose' is 'NOISE'.

(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "Loud or disturbing sound" , "Hum" , "Kind of pollution" , "Row" , "Unwelcome sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
