Welcome to...

benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)

Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? I can't really say too much about this one without spoiling it, so I won't. The answer to the meta is what you can hear hiding in the puzzle.

The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.

Pet Sounds - Crosshare
Pet Sounds - PUZ
Pet Sounds - PDF
Pet Sounds - spreadsheet

Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

Crossed and stormed! Tried for the quick post-midnight solve, but I just wasn’t made for these times…

Crossed! Stormed!

Surprised a bit, though, that this puzzle appeared in MOAT, and not …

Tough fill in the SW corner, but I found a trebuchet and launched myself across the MOAT!

I'm picking up good vibrations from this one - moat crossed, I think! Very neat.
