I believe the answer is:

bleats

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

'sounds' is the definition.
(bleat is a kind of sound)

'broken-down stable' is the wordplay.
'broken down' indicates an anagram.
'stable' is an anagram of 'BLEATS'.

'made by farm animals in' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bleats that I've seen before include "Makes sheep sounds in stable" , "Tables of sheep sounds" , "Makes sound like sheep in stable" , "The cries of a calf or goat" , "Sheep or goat cries" .)
