Balta Sound is a sound (inlet) on the east coast of the island of Unst in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The sound is sheltered from the North Sea to the east by the uninhabited island of Balta. The settlement at the west of the sound is Baltasound. On 12 March 1917, the World War I British E-class submarine HMS E49 was heading out of Balta Sound on patrol when it struck a naval mine laid by German U-boat SM UC-76. It was sunk in the channel between the islands of Huney and Balta with the loss of the entire crew. The site of the wreck is now designated as a war grave.

- Balta Sound è un sound (insenatura) sulla costa orientale dell'isola di Unst, nelle isole Shetland, in Scozia. Il sound è riparato dal Mare del Nord che si trova ad est dall'isola disabitata di Balta. L'insediamento abitato ad ovest del sound è Baltasound. Il 12 marzo 1917 la HMS E49 della Classe E Britannica della prima guerra mondiale si stava dirigendo fuori dal Balta Sound per pattugliare la zona quando colpì una mina navale lasciata dall'U-boat UC-76 dell'impero tedesco. La nave fu affondata nel canale tra le isole di e Balta con la perdita dell'intero equipaggio. Il sito del naufragio è oggi designato come cimitero di guerra. (it)
