Is it permissible to just listen to the sound of porn?
Scholars have different opinions regarding the permissibility of listening to sounds associated with explicit content. According to Shia scholarship, as reflected in Al-Kafi, a question was posed to Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him) about a muhrim (one in the state of ihram) who hears a man having intercourse with his wife and ejaculates. He said: Nothing is upon him.
Al-Kafi 3:679 This suggests that merely hearing sounds does not incur a penalty.
On the other hand, Sunni scholarship does not have a direct ruling on this specific matter in the retrieved texts. However, it is generally understood that engaging with anything that could lead to sinful thoughts or actions is discouraged in Islam.
For a ruling that applies to your specific situation, consult a qualified local scholar.

I asked Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him) about a muhrim who listens to a man having intercourse with his wife and ejaculates. He said: Nothing is upon him. — OR — I asked him about a woman - I did not know her condition - whether a man may temporarily marry her. He said, 'He may approach her, but if she responds to him immorally, then he should not do it.'
