- J'ai entendu un bruit dehors
I heard a noise outside
(dehors modifies just entendre un bruit; it indicates where the noise was, not where the person hearing it was)
- Soudain j'ai entendu un bruit
Suddenly I heard a noise
(soudain modifies the sentence and expresses the suddenness of the whole event)
