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.

Not a horror movie, and I have not seen it to verify, but the Odyssey should have sirens in it.

It does, but that's only like five minutes tops.

That movie certainly felt horror at times. Was really well done

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.

Could be something Lovecraftian. Whispers in the dark that are always there, but only detectable by a select few until yadda yadda. Event Horizon comes to mind.

That's where my mind went, I just couldn't think of any titles myself.
