Sound of a wonky hinge? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neigh

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

'a wonky hinge?' is the wordplay.
'a wonky' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'hinge' anagrammed gives 'NEIGH'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for neigh that I've seen before include "Mare's cry, e.g." , "Beastly sound" , "beastly noise" , "nicker" , "Hinge (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
