Crossword Genius

Rise, being angry (audibly) (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soar

'rise' is the definition.
(I know that soar is a type of rise)

'angry audibly' is the wordplay.
'angry' becomes 'sore' (sore can mean angry or resentful).
'audibly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'sore' is a homophone of 'SOAR'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for soar that I've seen before include "Fly high, Leicester river" , "Rise effortlessly" , "take to the air" , "Rise quickly" , "'Fly, glide (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
