Wild creature makes noise vanish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dingo

'wild creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'noise vanish' is the wordplay.
'noise' becomes 'din' (din can mean a loud noise or disturbance).
'vanish' becomes 'go' (going is a kind of vanishing).
'din'+'go'='DINGO'

'makes' is the link.

(Other definitions for dingo that I've seen before include "Kipling's yellow dog" , "Aussie wild dog" , "Wild Australian dog" , "Australian native" , "Wild creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
