Unpleasant to see or hear (4)

I believe the answer is:

ugly

(Other definitions for ugly that I've seen before include "Repulsive in appearance" , "Nasty to look at" , "Unprepossessing, repulsive" , "Evil-looking" , "Unsightly, not pretty" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
