A bay is a body of water surrounded by land on three sides. A sound is a channel of water between two bodies of land (can also be referred to as a strait or a channel).

The BAY of SanFrancisco is a geographical factor, denoting the enclaved portion of land & sea.

The SOUND of the Puget Sound is just a name.
