'they formed the queue' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'were noisy' is the wordplay.
'were' becomes 'made' (making is a kind of being).
'noisy' becomes 'arow' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'made'+'arow'='MADE A ROW'

'as' is the link.
