From the ASA Umpires Manual (talking about a force play)

Sound is another element in making a decision. While concentrating on the base and allowing peripheral vision to aid us in seeing the play develop, the sound of the ball hitting the glove helps determine which arrived first, the ball or the player’s foot hitting the base.

No, not this situation, but an example of where the umpires manual suggests the use of sound.
