Onomatopoeia (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a play
Don't you just love how some sounds become words in their own right? I do. This puzzle is a tribute (of sorts!) to onomatopoeia. Hope you enjoy working towards the answer to the meta, which is a play. Answer and explanation here: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=86028#p86028
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!
