Other than the title, The Telltale Head being a play on The Telltale Heart the similarities lie in The Telltale Heart having the narrator, who is presumably the murderer, being haunted by the sound of the victim's beating heart. Bart, who is also the narrator of The Telltale Head briefly, is haunted by the voice of Jebidiah Springfield.
One example of onomatopoeia in "The Tell-Tale Heart" is the sound of the old man's heart beating loudly, which is described as "thump, thump, thump" as the narrator becomes more and more agitated by the noise.

The narrator
The first-person point of view in "The Tell-Tale Heart" enhances the sense of madness and unreliability of the narrator, drawing readers into his disturbed mind and making the story more chilling and intense. It allows for a deeper exploration of the narrator's complex psychological state and adds to the suspense by creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy with the reader.

The sound that drives the narrator to confess the crime is a heart; (the heart of the man he killed or the his own?)
Narrator
They have much in common both being unreliable and mad. But to the differences. In the Cask of the Amontillado the narrator is angry and bent on revenge. In the tell-tale heart the narrator is sincere and acts our of paranoia.
The old man's eye was a pale blue color with a film covering it, making it look like a vulture's eye. The speaker found the eye to be menacing, evil, and likened it to the "Evil eye," which disturbed him greatly.
The narrator keeps insisting that he is not mad in "The Tell-Tale Heart."
