'a part of a' is the definition.
(I know this)

'english d-day news broadcast' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'e'+'d'+'day'+'news'='eddaynews'
'eddaynews' with letters rearranged gives 'WEDNESDAY'.

'weak sound from' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
