There are tentacles around the cannon and and one is pressing Wolff against the cannon, so of course there would be sounds.

The game accepts both 'drowned' and 'shot by a cannon' as fates, so assuming Lucas Pope wasn't being too lazy or too generous here, that would mean that he indeed got shot by the cannon, presumably in a part of the body that still allowed him to scream for a bit.

If you look closely, the cannonball's path isn't parallel to the ship's side, it's angled slightly outwards, as it clips the front of the window frame, plows through the center of the rear frame and some of the wall behind it, before flying away from the ship. There is minimal damage seen from the inside of the adjacent room.

It is not known what body position he was exactly at the moment of the blast. If he had retained that backwards leaning position he was a few seconds earlier, he would get shot directly in the head. I do presume that Wollf must have collided with him while flying backwards, which may have contributed to Wollf's body flipping upside down in the air.
