Sound inside volcano is eerie (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noise

'sound' is the definition.
(a noise is a sound)

'inside volcano is eerie' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates a hidden word.
'NOISE' is hidden within 'volcano is eerie'.

(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "Row" , "Racket, din" , "Unpleasant sounds" , "Loud or disturbing sound" , "Fuss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
