Morphology
The meaning 'a recording of sounds' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'sound' (auditory noise) with 'recording' (a saved capture of audio), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This simple noun–noun compound follows regular English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically common, making it immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The term sound recording comes from early machines that actually 'wrote' the waves of sound onto a surface, like a needle cutting tiny grooves in wax or metal. The recording could then be kept and later 'played back', so the phrase came to mean 'a recording of sounds'.
