Noise is unfortunate result (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rustle

'noise' is the definition.
(I know that rustle is a type of noise)

'unfortunate result' is the wordplay.
'unfortunate' indicates an anagram.
'result' with letters rearranged gives 'RUSTLE'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rustle that I've seen before include "Make sound as of paper crumpling - or steal cattle" , "The sound of leaves in the wind" , "Result (anag.)" , "Steal ((eg, cattle)" , "Swish - lustre (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
