Norse deity to embrace loud noise (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odin

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

'norse deity' is the definition.
(Odin is an example)

'embrace loud noise' is the wordplay.
'embrace' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'loud noise' becomes 'din' (din can mean a loud disturbance).
'o'+'din'='ODIN'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Chief god of Scandinavian myth" , "God - I nod (anag)" , "Supreme god of Scandanavian myth" , "divine figure" , "Supreme god of war in Norse mythology" .)
