Strip club finally withdraws audible signal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleep

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

'audible signal' is the definition.
'bleep' can be an answer for 'signal' (bleep can mean an electronic signal). I am not certain of the 'audible' bit.

'strip club finally withdraws' is the wordplay.
'strip' becomes 'peel' (peeling is a kind of stripping).
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'withdraws' says the letters should be written backwards.
The final letter of 'club' is 'b'.
'peel'+'b'='peelb'
'peelb' reversed gives 'BLEEP'.

Can you help me to learn more?
