auditory cues
Heard information hints
Auditory cues are sounds that signal or prompt something—information conveyed through hearing rather than sight or touch.
A car's backup beep is an auditory cue warning pedestrians.
In film, auditory cues guide emotional response: The ominous music was an auditory cue that something bad was about to happen.
