The sound in the extract from Merlin helps to define the class and status an example of this would be the non-diegetic sound of deep strings and choir to create tension which builds up to when she walks in to her room this could imply that a class based rule has been broken showing that she is of higher status.
In addition the sound of the footsteps of the woman walking in at the beginning are slow this builds up tension, as she walks in she asks him "what are you doing here?" this shows she has power over Merlin and that her status is greater than his. As Merlin walks out we hear the sound of the market this may include the sounds of animals and other people, this may show a contrast between how quiet the castle was and how busy the market is, this may typically represent the sounds of the lower class.
