You should say "Doesn't it sound stupid?" (an interrogative native/a negative interrogative question). Or "Does it sound stupid?" (a simple/plain question), not "isn't it sound stupid?" or "is it sound stupid?". The underlined are ungrammatical.

Doesn't it sound stupid implies I think it sounds stupid. You agree, don't you?

Blue Jay, Is it that if we say 'doesn't it sound stupid?', we're expecting the listener to say 'yes'?
