    How it works

    This expression uses the verb 'sonar' in a 'gustar'-like construction, where the indirect object pronoun ('me') receives the action and the subject is the thing that sounds familiar. 'Un poco' functions as an adverbial quantifier modifying the degree of familiarity. The verb conjugates in the third person ('suena') agreeing with the implied or stated singular subject.
