Country not welcoming sound (5)

I believe the answer is:

chile

'country' is the definition.
(Chile is a country)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for chile that I've seen before include "Country of S. America" , "Long narrow country" , "S American country, capital Santiago 95)" , "Country liberated by Bernardo O'Higgins" , "Long, thin country" .)
