Least loud (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

softest

'least loud' is the definition.
('soft' is the opposite of 'loud' so 'softest' should be a synonym for 'least loud')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for softest that I've seen before include "Lowest in volume" , "Most delicate or most lenient" , "Least hard or rough" , "most weak" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
