[Frontend] frontend/src/app/utils/soundManager.ts is imported eagerly even when sound is disabled

Why this matters
soundManager.ts, already flagged elsewhere for its dead generateTone stub, appears to be imported by gamification components regardless of whether sound is enabled in settings, so its module cost is paid even for users who never trigger a sound effect.

Acceptance criteria

• Confirm whether soundManager.ts is imported eagerly at the top of any client component
• If so, convert the import to a lazy or dynamic import gated on first sound trigger

Files to touch

• frontend/src/app/utils/soundManager.ts

Out of scope
Fixing the generateTone stub, tracked separately.
