There are a couple of ways to define "sound" in relation to a body of water: 1. A relatively narrow passage of water between the mainland and an island, sometimes also known as a "strait". 2. An inlet, bay, or recessed portion of the ocean. There are several "sounds" such as Puget Sound in Washington state, Long Island Sound on the east coast of the US, and Nootka Sound and Kyuquot Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island. There is also a region known simply as "The Sound" (or "Oresund" by the locals) which is a strait that separates Zealand (Denmark) from Scania (Sweden).
