Sound is already an in-game battle element, so making it its own type at this point would be superfluous.
That said though, I wonder if introducing a new type would be a good idea in the first place. Why not improve the viability of some already available types? Bug, Ice, and Poison come to mind. Though in retrospect, I guess people were saying the same thing when the Fairy type was announced back in gen 6.
