Sound from church tower: some laughter? (4)
I believe the answer is:
peal
'sound' is the definition.
(I know that peal is a kind of sound)
'church tower some laughter?' is the wordplay.
'church tower' becomes 'pea' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'some' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'laughter' is 'l'.
'pea'+'l'='PEAL'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peal that I've seen before include "Loud burst of thunder - or laughter" , "Leap up to loud ring of a bell" , "Deep prolonged sound" , "Ring recurrently" , "Set of bells for ringing" .)
