Crossword Genius

Bit of quiet, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piece

'bit of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quiet say' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'peace' (I've seen this before).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'peace' is a homophone of 'PIECE'.

(Other definitions for piece that I've seen before include "A part of something" , "Single article" , "newspaper article" , "Bit - part" , "Musical work; bit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
