audio

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

'what you might hear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'car ring' is the wordplay.
'car' becomes 'audi' (Audi is a German car brand).
'ring' becomes 'O' (letter resembling a ring).
'audi'+'o'='AUDIO'

'about' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for audio that I've seen before include "Relating to sound or hearing" , "TV sound" , "- - visual aids" , "type of reproduction" , "Recording of acoustic signals" .)
