Vibratory sound right in the nose, maybe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snore

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

'vibratory sound' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'right in the nose maybe' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'nose' is an anagram of 'snoe'.
'r' inserted into 'snoe' is 'SNORE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snore that I've seen before include "Noise indicating sleep" , "Make noises sleeping" , "Grunting sound" , "How to keep someone awake while sleeping?" , "Noise from a sleeper" .)
