One inheriting man’s sound sort of post (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airmail

This might be a double definition.

'one inheriting man's sound' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'sort of post' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for airmail that I've seen before include "Letters that are flown in" , "Flying post?" , "Postal system f" , "Letters sent up" , "Speedy deliveries" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
