Where Does That Sound Come From? (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 5-syllable word
I think I've given you enough to get you to the meta answer. This is either a "week 2" or a "week 4" and so I've run it as a "week 4" in a month with a "week 5" just in case. The answer to the meta is a 5-syllable word. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=140175#p140175
And let's do the prize thing once more! The randomly-drawn name will win a MOAT Music Meta Pack (see here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html) valued at $US10.
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
