I also want to know if there is an earlier use of a Jump-Scare in a sound film before the stalk scene in "Cat People"

Exorcist (73) is one of the earlier-than-that examples that come to mind - both with the demonic face, and the sudden phone ringing after an ambiguously quiet scene.
...Then they started using startled/hissing cats, in every movie ever.
