Question: how would you say "sounds like" in japanese?

I don't mean it like "~のような音がする", but like when you say "It's not as bad as it sounds." or "This might sound a little rude,..."

seems like there are tons of ways to say "looks like" in japanese (みたい、そう、らしい、etc) but the only thing I found for "sounds like" is "がましい", which isn't right I think.
