What you're arguing is no different than someone arguing that it's PIS for a human to take a bullet when they're wearing a bullet proof vest or to fly with something like rocket boots(which would NOT work in the real world). I also don't know why you'd assume it was a weak attack just because Cap's legs were ok. I'm not a peak human wearing armor and my legs can handle being exposed to some pretty high levels of sound without suffering any damage...
I can't see a conection between any of these examples you listed and what happened there with klaw and CA.
If his peak human durabilty was enough to tank it, then it wasn't that big of a deal, but he was sure he would be killed instants before. BC's scream can destroy things a lot more durable than CA's body, she'd liquify his innards. That scan shows that CA still got tagged by Klaw despite the shield, because it only covers a small part of his body.
Klaw can do all of that and then some.
Maybe he can, but he obviously didn't.
Sure the heat effected him and there's not a doubt in my mind that he'd hear enough of Canary's scream to know that it was happening, but if his shield absorbs the bulk of the scream there's no reason the rest would be guaranteed to take out Cap. I mean he heard sound when he went through that ordeal with Klaw(narration even talks about it), it just that his shield is THAT good.
Only what hits the shield directly will be absorbed, the rest will hit CA, since the shield is small and sound diffracts arround objects, a much bigger portion of the blast will hit CA than the one that will be absorbed.
