I've found this definition in some dictionaries:
Linguistics To articulate; pronounce: sound a vowel.
But they only have the transitive 'sound' which is the same as 'pronounce'. You don't think the intransitive 'sound' can also be used that way?

So it can mean 'pronouce.' OK.
Now what about this 'sound'. Is context required to make the intended meaning of pronunciation clear?
When he speakes Japanese, his Japanese sounds terrible.

Then with this context, what do you think?
When he speaks Japanese, his Japanese sounds terrible. He always worry about how his Japanese sounds, but he doesn't have to; when I hear some other foreigners speak Japanese, I sometimes find difficulty understanding them.

Hi,
Yes, I'd probably think you were talking about pronunciation.
But it's a lot simpler just to say 'When he speaks Japanese, his pronunciation is terrible'.

I would use 'pronuciaton.' No doubt. I was just thinking about alternative expressions, and the nature of 'sound.'
Last question. If the context was slightly different as this, would you take it as 'pronunciation'?
