Typically, bays are the smallest of the three. Usually, because of how the surrounding land may be shaped, the waters tend to be calmer. Gulfs are usually attached to an ocean or sea. You could think of them as an extention of one of the two, like a limb on a person. In some cases, they can be almost completely landlocked, too, as if they themselves were seas. Sounds are more like inlets or channels that attach other bodies of water, but are often wider and sometimes deeper. Other than that, I don't know of many other things that define a sound.

Size. A gulf is huge. It can be over a hundred of miles wide. A bay is much smaller. Maybe only a mile or two wide. A sound is much smaller like cove but I think a sound is deeper than a cove.
