Flogger can be heard from the basement (6)
I believe the answer is:
cellar
'the basement' is the definition.
(basement room)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cellar that I've seen before include "Container for salt" , "Storage space, for wine perhaps" , "It holds wine (or salt)" , "Room at the bottom, maybe for wine" , "wine stocks" .)
