'what one' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'make with hooter around?' is the wordplay.
'make with' becomes 'i' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hooter' becomes 'nose' (I've seen this before).
'around?' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'i' put into 'nose' is 'NOISE'.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "Racket, din" , "Sound - gossip" , "Loud or disturbing sound" , "Hubbub" , "Virgil's birthplace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Telegraph.
