Crossword Genius

Produced with an audible groan (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grown

'produced' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'an audible groan' is the wordplay.
'an audible' shows a homophone (sound like).
'groan' is a homophone of 'GROWN'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for grown that I've seen before include "increased in stature?" , "Mature; raised" , "Increased; raised" , "Cultivated" , "Fully developed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
