Crossword Genius

Reported volume of gentle sounds (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sighs

'gentle sounds' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'reported volume' is the wordplay.
'reported' shows a homophone (sound like).
'volume' becomes 'size' (I've seen this before).
'size' sounds like 'SIGHS'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for sighs that I've seen before include "Sounds of weariness" , "Lamentations" , "Bridge of - - (Venice)" , "Moans" , "Exhales sadly" .)
