Disagreeable din carrying over miles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noisome

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

'din carrying over miles' is the wordplay.
'din' becomes 'noise' (a din is a noisy disturbance).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'miles' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'o'+'m'='om'
'noise' placed around 'om' is 'NOISOME'.

(Other definitions for noisome that I've seen before include "Moonies (anag.)" , "Smelling bad" , "Offensive, noxious" , "Offensively malodorous" , "noxious smells" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
