noise

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

'sound' is the definition.
(noise is a kind of sound)

'rewired sion east' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'sion' is 'nois' which is present in the answer.
'east' could be 'e' (synonyms) and 'e' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
