"Sound" is a song written by Jim Glennie, Larry Gott, and Tim Booth, recorded by Manchester band James for their fourth studio album, Seven (1992). Clocking in at over six and a half minutes on the album, the song was shortened considerably for the single version. The CD release featured both the album and the single version, along with a dub remix of "Come Home" and an original song called "All My Sons".

Released in November 1991 as the album's first single, it reached No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the second of the group's three top-10 hits. Apart from "Sit Down", "Sound" is the band's only song to enter the top 30 of the Irish Singles Chart, and it also peaked at No. 4 in Portugal and No. 28 in Australia.
