They are basically the same. Sound means solid, or based on fact. If something is factual it means that it is true, or valid.
By the way, there were no “arguments provided in this example” as referenced in the question.

Valid and sound mean the same thing, don’t they? A sound argument is a valid argument. If your argument is a valid one, then it is a sound argument. The “so significant” part of it means you have a personal stake in the outcome, which may skew the validity and/or soundness of it. So, an *objective* argument which is backed up by facts (valid) is a sound argument.
