This person's gripped by organ sound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noise

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

'this person's gripped by organ' is the wordplay.
'this person' becomes 'i'.
'gripped by' is an insertion indicator.
'organ' becomes 'nose' (nose is a kind of organ**).
'i' put into 'nose' is 'NOISE'.

(Other definitions for noise that I've seen before include "Unstructured sound" , "Unwanted sounds" , "Clamour" , "Hum" , "Loud or unpleasant sound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
