Get under someone’s skin during noisy hearing, say (7)

I believe the answer is:

incense

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

'get under someone's skin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'during noisy hearing say' is the wordplay.
'during' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'noisy hearing say' becomes 'cense' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in'+'cense'='INCENSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incense that I've seen before include "Cause strong reaction" , "Enrage greatly" , "To outrage" , "Perfume - madden" , "Make furious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
