I believe the answer is:

few

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

'not too many' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'noisy ways' is the wordplay.
'noisy' becomes 'f'.
'ways' becomes 'ew' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'f'+'ew'='FEW'

'have' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for few that I've seen before include "Relatively small number" , "Only one or two" , "'''Many are called but ... are chosen'' (Bible) (3)'" , "Indefinite but small number" , "Hardly anyone" .)
