Distantly, something buzzing in the smallest room? (7)

I believe the answer is:

aloofly

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

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

'something buzzing in the smallest room?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'room?' could be 'loo' (loo is a kind of room) and 'loo' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aloofly that I've seen before include "How to disconnect, perhaps" , "Distantly" , "in a cold manner?" , "Keeping apart from" .)
