Apparently marmosets hear plenty of evil...they're nosy little creatures who eavesdrop on their neighbors and listen to what they "say."
(In air quotes because they don't have a fully developed language).
Common marmosets kind of live in packs like wolves, and they rely on each other a lot. So they listen, especially to how other marmosets in the group treat the babies. Mistreat a baby and you won't be babysitting again!
(It's an interesting insight into the kind of forces that develop language).
