Makes beastly noises among fellow students (4)

I believe the answer is:

lows

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

'makes beastly noises' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'among fellow students' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'LOWS' can be found hidden inside 'fellow students'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lows that I've seen before include "Cyclones" , "Minimum levels" , "Moos" , "Depressions" .)
