What does a letter O with an umlaut above it sound like?

The letter "Ö" with an umlaut above it is pronounced like the "e" in the word "bet".

Here are some examples:

* Österreich (Austria) - pronounced like "Ust-ray-ish"

* Möbel (furniture) - pronounced like "Meb-l"

* Öl (oil) - pronounced like "Uhl"

It's important to note that the pronunciation of "Ö" can vary slightly depending on the dialect of German being spoken. However, the "e" in "bet" is a good general approximation.
