In the above examples, suonare means “to play” (an instrument or music), but suonare also means “to sound.” Consider the following sentence:

Francesco suona bene il violino, ma in questa stanza il violino non suona bene.

Francesco plays the violin well, but in this room the violin doesn’t sound good.

Here's a list of even more ways the verb suonare can be used:

suonare bene (to sound good, or to play well—depending on the context)
suonare il campanello (to ring the doorbell)
suonare il claxon (to honk the horn)
fare suonare (literally, to make something sound; to play something, such as a CD—as in pressing “play”)
suonare in giro (perform here and there, play some gigs)
essere suonato/suonata come una campana (literally, having been rung like a bell—to be off one’s head)
suonare (to ring, as in a telephone or an alarm clock; to toll, as in a churchbell slowly ringing to announce a death)
suonare male a qualcuno (to not sound right to someone)

Another translation of “to play” is giocare, but this comes from the word for “game,” il gioco. In Bibione: Torneo del frisbee - Part 1, Dario talks about his favorite gioco:

Mi piace molto giocare a frisbee.

I really like playing frisbee.
