Piece to listen to in silence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peace

'silence' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'piece to listen to' is the wordplay.
'to listen to' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'listened to' mean this).
'piece' is a homophone of 'PEACE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for peace that I've seen before include "Repose, tranquillity" , "Absence of war" , "Quiet - lack of warfare" , "still?" , "''And I shall have some ... there, for ... comes dropping slow'' (WB Yeats)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
