Answer: The sound of the beating heart emphasizes the madness of the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” while the sound of the crying cat in “The Black Cat” does not.

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator hears the beating of the heart that he removed from the old man and hid under his floor. This sound is constant, and it is clear that it is illogical. Therefore, the sound is a way in which Poe emphasizes the insanity of the narrator. On the other hand, the sound of the crying cat in "The Black Cat" is something that could be possible. Moreover, it is not one of the main signs in the story that imply the narrator is insane.
