Male gets a lot of noise from a woman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mabel

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

'a woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'male gets a lot of noise' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'a lot of noise' becomes 'abel' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'm'+'abel'='MABEL'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mabel that I've seen before include "Mack's mate" , "Female name deriving from one meaning lovable" , "Woman" , "Female name; rhymes with mythic story" , "Musical, Mack & --" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
