"Sounds of Silence" had been out for several years by the time it was used in The Graduate. While it's true Paul Simon did write some songs especially for the film that he and Art Garfunkel later put on Bookends (most notably "Mrs. Robinson"), this wasn't one of them, so defining it by its use in the film does it a disservice.
