I believe the answer is:

rattles

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

'causes disquiet' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'starlet cast' is the wordplay.
'cast' is an anagram indicator (letters are dispersed or cast around).
'starlet' with letters rearranged gives 'RATTLES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rattles that I've seen before include "Starlet (anag)" , "Noisy toys for babies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
