Of course, that site gives 4 distinct definitions for the adjective 
"sound". Why do you ignore the other 3?

That's not what 'unsound' means.

According to dictionary.com, sound means

"the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by 
vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium."

Obviously, by your reason, any use of 'sound' must conform to the above. 
Yours does not.

And, by the rules of Newspeak, an 'unsound' would simply be that which 
is not a sound, i.e. silence.
