The Signalworks for the theme of sound being the danger but the poster doesn't visually.

    Do you treat the words cognitohazard and infohazard as synonymous or not? And if not, how does one differentiate them?

    At least, the way I personally define them,

    An infohazard is anything that is dangerous to know. This covers a lot of fantastical cases, but it also covers much more mundane things such as knowing privileged information that someone doesn't want you to share.

    A cognitohazard is something that will actively interfere in your functions because you know it. All cognitohazards are infohazards but not all infohazards are cognitohazards. Simply knowing a touchy secret isn't going to eat your mind away from the inside out, but some sort of information-based entity might.

    Hot skulls is based around a contagion that makes people delirious. If you hear an infected person speaking, you become infected as well so everyone walks around with headphones on outside.

    The Whistle. Sadly, from 2025 not 2018. But anyone who hears the whistle blow, dies.

    Not a great movie per se but it's efficient and goddamn, some of the kills were an absolute blast.

    there's Cell (2016) starring Nic Cage and Samuel L Jackson, based on a Stephen King book, where people turn into zombies after hearing a signal secretly embedded into cell phone networks

    Truth or Dare involves speaking.

    I think they're looking for one where listening is the evil.

    Yep. In Bird Box, the Monsters get you when you look at them. In A Quiet Place, when you speak (or make any other sound). So I'm looking for a Monster that gets you when you hear it.

    So the monster can somehow sense people hearing it? Seems like a weird premise.

    Not much weirder than Bird Box. In it, you receive an immediate urge to kill yourself from seeing the monster. Something like this would work just as well for hearing it. Some have already mentioned sirens in this thread, which also fit well.
