Shout accompanying a realization (3)

I believe the answer is:

aha

(Other definitions for aha that I've seen before include "Surprised expression" , "Triumphant cry" , "Exclamation of triumph or surprise, a palindrome" , "Cry of surprise" , "Cry of triumph" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
