Notice advertisement in city causing alarm? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clock radio

'alarm?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'notice advertisement in city' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'clock' (I've seen this before).
'advertisement' becomes 'ad' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'city' becomes 'Rio' (Rio de Janeiro).
'ad' going inside 'rio' is 'radio'.
'clock'+'radio'='CLOCK-RADIO'

'causing' acts as a link.

(Another definition for clock radio that I've seen is " Alarm".)
