County gets quiet call and part in suspension (9)

'part in suspension' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'county gets quiet call' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'county' could be 'beds' (abbreviation for Bedfordshire) and 'beds' is present in the answer.
'quiet' could be 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet) and 'p' is found within the answer.
'call' could be 'ring' (telephone call) and 'ring' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
