Capitalize the word “sound” only as a last resort, if there is nothing more specific to describe what is heard:

The children wake to the sound of a DISTANT MARCHING BAND.

Somewhere in the bushes, Markie hears a SOFT SOUND.

Describing camera direction

The third and final reason for typing words in all capital letters in direction is because they provide camera direction. A single, three-part rule governs capitalization for camera direction: Always capitalize 1) the word “camera”; 2) any movement the camera makes; and 3) any prepositions that relate to the camera or its movement.

Always capitalize the word “camera”:

The horse gallops directly AT CAMERA.
