Sound like moves that don't change
Grasswhistle- Makes more sense to be Grass type
Bug Buzz- Good Bug move
Parting Shot- Signature move of Pancham and Pangoro so its better to be Dark type
Snarl- Decent Dark type move
Belly Drum- Makes more sense to be Normal type
Disarming Voice- Makes more sense to be Fairy Type
Metal Sound- Make more sense to be Steel Type
Clanging Scales- Signature move of a Kommo-o so its better to be Dragon type
Sparkling Aria- Signature move of Primarina so its better to be Water type
Explosion and Self Destruct. While they do release pressure waves. They mainly cause damage and aren't entirely sound related. Better to be Normal type
Heal Bell- While a sound like move. It was changed to not affect soundproof so changing it to a Sound type move would make it not effect sound type Pokemon. Best to leave it as Normal type

Updated with Gen 7 information. So far only Trumbeak and Toucannon seem they would be sound type. Not sure yet if any other gen 7 Pokemon or Alolan formes would fit the Sound type

I recently discovered the discussion about giving Pokémon a Sound type, and the more I read and hear about it, the more it makes sense to me.
I like most of what you wrote here, but I disagree with a few points:
Yveltal- Dark/Sound
Yveltal is a Legendary Bird.
What makes it any more of a Sound-type than Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia, or Ho-Oh?
(Oblivion Wing Changes to a Dark Type move since its makes more sense)
It has "Wing" in its name, so Flying makes the most sense, and I think more Flying-type Pokémon should be able to learn it in the future, especially other Legendary Birds.
Also, Fairy is resistant to Dark, so changing Oblivion Wing to Dark would hurt Yveltal in the matchup against Xerneas.
Metal Sound
Like Grass Whistle makes more sense as a Grass-type move because it's a plant-based move and it has "Grass" in its name, Metal Sound makes more sense as a Steel-type move because it's a metal-based move (the user performs it by banging and scraping pieces of metal together) and it has "Metal" in its name.
