Be heard as a buzzer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bee

'a buzzer' is the definition.
(insect which buzzes)

'be heard' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'be' sounds like 'BEE'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bee that I've seen before include "Insect, may be in bonnet" , "Hymenopterous insect" , "Busy person" , "Creator of honey" , "Honey maker" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
