Not sure what the exact complaint is here, though using said or sounds to refer to something written can be considered a defect. Comes up often in speech, too. One would substitute "read" or "reads" or something like that.
Also, using stock phrases—especially ones that are overused—where a word would do ("however" or something along those lines) is often discouraged.
