Where in Lancashire fans make such a noise? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whirr

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

This could be a double definition.

'where in lancashire fans' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'such a noise?' is the second definition.
(whirring noise)

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whirr that I've seen before include "Sound of vibration" , "Spin with hum" , "Spin noisily" , "Humming sound" , "Sound of something rapidly rotating" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
