Meanwhile do you turn up to display falsetto? (5)

I believe the answer is:

yodel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'falsetto?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'meanwhile do you turn up to display' is the wordplay.
'to display' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'displayed' mean this (the answer is displayed within the clue)).
'turn up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'ledoy' can be found hidden inside 'meanwhile do you'.
'ledoy' written backwards gives 'YODEL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
