Does that sound like a hiccup?

[From a conversation]

Garrett: When you have the hiccups, your body makes a strange sound.
Andrea: Yes, it does. It ... it kind of sounds like this.
(Andrea imitates the sound of hiccups).
Andrea: I don't know. Does that sound like a hiccup?
Garrett: It does!

How about "Did that sound like a hiccup"? I think that she imitates the sound of hiccups first, then asks the question. So why not use "did"? For example, we say "that was close" for a dangerous situation that just happened. [not "that is close"]

As for my question, that might be that it is more natural to say "that sounds like a hiccup" rather than "that sounded like a hiccup", even though that happened a few second ago. But the past-simple one would also work.

So I think that for some sentences we usually use the past simple (as in "that was close") while for some other ones, both can be possible (as in "Does/Did that sound like a hiccup" in this case).

What do you think?

The past simple would work, but the present simple works better for me- this is how she impersonates a hiccup.
