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

'heard at mecca?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'jubilant cry' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'cry' could be 'ho' and 'ho' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'use' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for house that I've seen before include "Home building" , "Royal family" , "Leo, say" , "Company; dwelling" , "Store" .)
