I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'loud noise' is the definition.
'clangour' can be an answer for 'noise' (clangour is a kind of noise). I'm not certain of the 'loud' bit.

'caught monkey eating duck' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'monkey' becomes 'langur' (langur is a kind of monkey**).
'eating' is an insertion indicator.
'duck' becomes 'o'.
'langur' going around 'o' is 'langour'.
'c'+'langour'='CLANGOUR'

'having' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clangour that I've seen before include "Loud ringing noise" , "Uproar; loud repeated noise" , "Commotion" , "Loud resounding noise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
