'not like the sound/look of ...'
This seems to have some figurative meaning.
A dictionary definition of this phrase is:
'find worrying or alarming'.
I wonder in what situations the phrase is used.
May I have some examples using this phrase?
The sample sentence in the dictionary is:
"I don't like the look of that head injury."

Thank you.
