Noisy pubs, many in Helsinki (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

finns

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

'noisy pubs many in helsinki' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'noisy pubs' is the wordplay.
'noisy' becomes 'f'.
'pubs' becomes 'inns' (an inn is a type of pub).
'f'+'inns'='FINNS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for finns that I've seen before include "Natives of Helsinki" , "foreigners" .)
