'noise' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'quiet during day without a lot' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'during' becomes 'in' (e.g. during February means in February).
'day' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for day).
'without a lot' becomes 'y' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'sh'+'in'+'d'+'y'='SHINDY'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shindy that I've seen before include "Rumpus (colloq.)" , "Disturbance" , "disorderly party" , "Large lively party" , "racket" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
