'female one hears' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'produced by male' is the wordplay.
'produced' becomes 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'produce').
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'male' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of male).
'made' put after 'man' is 'MANMADE'.

'and' is the link.
