Ross

I believe the answer is:

moo

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

'low sound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'over room's contents' is the wordplay.
'over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'contents' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'contents of' mean this).
'oom' is hidden within 'rooms'.
'oom' backwards is 'MOO'.

'of whisky being tipped' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moo that I've seen before include "Farmyard sound" , "unpopular woman" , "Cow's sound" , "Cartoon sound of a cow" , "Irritating woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
