Reverberation in City house (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

echo

'reverberation' is the definition.
('echo' can be a synonym of 'reverberation')

'city house' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'ec' (the City of London postcode).
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'ec'+'ho'='ECHO'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for echo that I've seen before include "Response" , "Reflect sound" , "Comms code word for E" , "One who slavishly copies" , "Radio operator's word for 'E'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
