From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing: (http://www.foldoc.org/, Editor Denis Howe)

1. audio.

2. An inference system A is sound with respect to another system B if A can only reach conclusions which are true in B. A type inference system is considered sound with respect to a semantics if the type inferred for an expression is the same as the type inferred for the meaning of that expression under the semantics.

The dual to soundness is completeness.
