Difference between "seems like ...", "sounds like ..." and "feels like ..."



I want to know if there are differences between the three following sentences, since for me they all have the same meaning:




It seems like an adventure.



It sounds like an adventure.




It feels like an adventure.



Answer



Yes I believe that there are differences.



"Sounds like" implies that the evidence is just words, usually spoken but could be written. "Seems like" could be used with any sort of evidence. "Feels like" is similar in meaning to "seems like", but suggests a higher degree of subjectivity - like it feels that way to me, but might feel differently to you.
