'no attempt to see through the blindfold?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'no sound and' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'sound' could be 'peep' (peep is a kind of sound) and 'peep' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ta' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
