Morphology

squish + sound

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'squish' (a soft, wet, often onomatopoeic noise) with 'sound' (a noise), forming a straightforward noun-noun compound referring to that specific noise. The composition is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

Squish sound: The noun squish sound comes from the word squish, which copies a wet, squashing noise you hear when something is pressed or stepped on, and sound, meaning 'noise'. So it means 'a soft, wet noise you hear when something is pressed or stepped on'.
