The word 'applause' is a noun, a word for approval shown by clapping hands; a word for any positive expression of appreciation or approval; a word for a thing.

A noun can function as the subject of a sentence or a clause, as the object of a verb or a preposition, as a predicate noun (subject complement), and as an object complement.

Examples:

The applause from the stadium was heard blocks away. (subject of the sentence)

He was silenced by the roar that the applause generated. (subject of the relative clause)

We heard applause coming from the board room. (direct object of the verb 'heard')

The audience responded with applause. (object of the preposition 'with')

The sound you hear is the applause of the fans. (predicate noun, sound = applause)

The sound you hear is clapping, applause. (object complement, clapping = applause)
