There is a long stretch of entymology that goes all the way back to Sanskrit through the Middle English soun, which came from Anglo-French son, sun, that is from the Latin sonus,from sonare menaing to sound and further back to the Sanskrit svanati.

The word "sound" is derived from the Latin word "sonus," which means noise or tone. It has been used to describe vibrations that travel through a medium, producing sensation in the ears.
