'''{{lang|ga|Fuaim}}''' ([[Irish language|Irish]] for 'Sound') is the sixth album by [[Ireland|Irish]] group [[Clannad (musical group)|Clannad]]. It was released in [[1982 in music|1982]] by [[Tara Records]], and produced by produced by [[Nicky Ryan]]. Like their other early material, it is primarily [[Irish traditional music]] in a modern-[[Folk music|folk]] and [[folk rock]] arragement with some [[jazz]] elements.

It was the second and last Clannad album to feature younger sister {{lang|ga|italic=unset|Eithne Ní Bhraonáin}}, later known as [[Enya]], and the only one to credit her; while she performed keyboard and backing vocals on the previous album {{lang|ga|italic=unset|Crann Úll}}, she was uncredited on it. She departed the band, along with producer Ryan, shortly thereafter to begin a solo career.

The album was reissued for a short time by [[Atlantic Records]] starting in 1993. It has since been [[Mastering (audio)|remastered]] and reissued on 7 August 2020 in both compact disc and vinyl formats, on the Tara label.
