Slapping sound (5)
I believe the answer is:
splat
'slapping sound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for splat that I've seen before include "Sound of a wet and squishy impact" , "Noise of soft wet impact; part of a chair back" , "amusing noise" , "Wet slapping sound" , "Noise on landing" .)
