absolutely... you sound happy.
Ring is also the verb "to ring" as in to ring a bell, translation for that is sonar (sonar una campana). Literal here.

I was going to say only use parecer for to sound in the sense of to seem, but I cosnulted a Spanish thesaurus and parecer is listed as synonym for sonar. It also does mean to ring when used with the telephone.

Welcome the forum.
Sonar also means "to sound."
Good job, but leave off the pronoun. Suenas feliz.

What's wrong with having the pronoun there? I know it's not necessary, but it takes almost no time to say "tú"; it just doesn't seem like it needs to be left out. - bmancornelious, Jun 6, 2010
Hi, bman. If you look at some of the questions, we are told not to use pronouns (especially by Heidita :-) because they are rarely used by native speakers. It took me a while to get accustomed to not using them! - Delores--Lindsey, Jun 6, 2010
