My guess is that you're just hearing through the wall when you hear that rope. It just means you're on the opposite side of the wall from the rope and just have to find another way to get to it. Usually when you hear an object and it's on the other side of a wall from you you're not really all that far from it. Then you just have to climb up or down a ladder depending on which way you're headed and you'll most likely reach it soon enough. I somewhat disagree about the complexity of the game. Yes the controls should be simple (and here they are), but the gameplay itself should be more complex. The audio gaming market is sorely, and I mean painfully in need of more complex and challenging games. Monty promises to fit the bill and I don't think these things you're talking about need to be changed. Besides, Thomas has already addressed the hearing through walls thing and I got the impression that the sound processing was about as good as it was gonna get. I got the feeling that tweaking it any further (if such a thing is indeed possible), would require more work on the game than it would be worth.
