Whispering sounds from street interrupting pronouncements (9)
I believe the answer is:
rustlings
'whispering sounds' is the definition.
'rustlings' can be an answer for 'sounds' (rustling is a kind of sound). I am not certain of the 'whispering' bit.
'street interrupting pronouncements' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'pronouncements' becomes 'rulings' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'st' put inside 'rulings' is 'RUSTLINGS'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
