Crossword Genius

One is punished making din (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noise

'din' is the definition.
(a din is a noisy disturbance)

'one is punished' is the wordplay.
'punished' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'is'='oneis'
'oneis' is an anagram of 'NOISE'.

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "Confused sounds" , "Sound of any kind" , "Uproar" , "Static - sound" , "Commotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
