Peculiarity of noisy cry as I'd roused (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idiosyncrasy

'peculiarity' is the definition.
(I know that idiosyncrasy is a type of peculiarity)

'noisy cry as i'd roused' is the wordplay.
'roused' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'noisy'+'cry'+'as'+'id'='noisycryasid'
'noisycryasid' anagrammed gives 'IDIOSYNCRASY'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for idiosyncrasy that I've seen before include "Distinctive mannerism" , "Peculiarity" , "Foible" , "Oddity" , "Quirk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
