The ability to navigate toward sound sources extends a robot's reach beyond its visual field, enabling response to auditory events in unknown environments. To equip robots with this capability, existing methods couple acoustic and visual information through joint audio-visual learning in acoustic simulators. However, acoustic simulation is both low-fidelity and expensive, producing a domain gap that prevents reliable real-world deployment, while the discrete action spaces inherited from grid-based simulators introduce an additional kinematic gap on physical robots. To alleviate these issues, we propose BCNav, a decoupled framework that separates the acoustic module from the learned navigation policy using direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation: an estimator provides a scalar bearing to the sound source, so the navigation policy only processes depth images and a bearing angle, two inputs whose domain gaps are well characterized. We collect shortest-path demonstrations with calibrated bearing noise injection and train the policy via imitation learning to output continuous velocity commands directly executable on ground robots. We demonstrate the method in simulation and on a physical robot, navigating unknown environments without any acoustic fine-tuning, prior mapping, or real-world audio data collection.
