No beastly sound being heard (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nay

'no' is the definition.
(archaic form 'no')

'beastly sound being heard' is the wordplay.
'beastly sound' becomes 'neigh' (sound of a horse).
'being heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'neigh' sounds like 'NAY'.

(Other definitions for nay that I've seen before include "Indeed" , "disagreement" , "In point of fact - a parliamentary vote against" , "Archaic negative" , "No - a negative vote" .)
