Who doesn’t love some astonishing etymology?
‘Sound’ (loud sound), ‘sound’ (safe and sound), and ‘sound’ (water) are not related.
‘Sound’ (loud) comes from Latin ‘sonus.’
‘Sound’ (safe and) comes from Old English ‘gesund,’ meaning "healthy."
‘Sound’ (water) comes from Old Norse ‘sund,’ meaning “strait."
