Street with strange sort of sound (5)
I believe the answer is:
strum
'sort of sound' is the definition.
'street with strange' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'strange' becomes 'rum' (I've seen this before).
'st'+'rum'='STRUM'
(Other definitions for strum that I've seen before include "Sweep fingers over strings" , "Play a banjo" , "Plays guitar" , "Play a stringed instrument (badly)" , "Sweepingly sound guitar strings" .)
