Experts making terrible noise scorn us (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

connoisseurs

'experts' is the definition.
(connoisseur is a kind of expert)

'terrible noise scorn us' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'noise'+'scorn'+'us'='noisescornus'
'noisescornus' anagrammed gives 'CONNOISSEURS'.

'making' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
