I believe the answer is:

nose

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

'it being blown' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one knows the sound' is the wordplay.
'the sound' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'knows' sounds like 'NOSE'.

'of' is the link.
