Enduring a considerable noise inside (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abiding

'enduring' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a considerable noise inside' is the wordplay.
'considerable' becomes 'big'.
'noise' becomes 'din' (din is a kind of noise).
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'big' placed around 'din' is 'biding'.
'a'+'biding'='ABIDING'

(Other definitions for abiding that I've seen before include "Remaining or residing" , "bearing" , "standing" , "Persisting" , "Putting up with: long-lasting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
