| Text | In this podcast, the word "sound" means rational, logical, and well thought out: "The author makes a sound proposal with several supporting arguments." A "sound sleeper" is someone who sleeps well and is not disturbed easily: "Don't worry about making noise. The kids are sound sleepers who almost never wake up during the night." "Of sound mind" is a fairly formal phrase meaning free of mental illness: "The judge will determine whether the man is of sound mind before beginning the trial." A "sound bite" is a short recording of someone's words, used in a news program: "The reporter is explaining the court's reaction to the politician's sound bite." Finally, "sound effects" are noises that are produced to accompany a film or play: "Let's find some good sound effects to make this haunted house even scarier." |
