Order is important when linking.  By the time the linker processes
your -lm option, it doesn't have anything that needs to be resolved by
a module found in libm.a, so it proceeds with the next command-line
argument.  That one will eventually trigger the reference to a symbol
named "sin", but no further library on the command-line could resolve
that symbol.

So just change that to

avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega8 -o sound1 sound1.o -lm

Btw., I'd personally avoid using time-consuming functions like
trigonometrical functions within an interrupt vector.  Heck, I'd avoid
calling *any* function from within an interrupt vector, as it will
make the compiler push/pop a lot more registers than needed without
that.
