It sounds shaky (6)
I believe the answer is:
rattle
'it sounds shaky' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rattle that I've seen before include "Baby's toy; irritate" , "rabbit" , "Child's noisy toy" , "Make worried, baby's toy" , "Baby's toy - conductor" .)
