Suggested the din could be modified (6)

I believe the answer is:

hinted

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

'suggested' is the definition.
('hint' can be a synonym of 'suggest')

'the din could be modified' is the wordplay.
'the din' anagrams to 'HINTED'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hinted that I've seen before include "Gave clue" , "Made an indirect suggestion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
