Is there a way to block people from sending me audio messages via text message on the iPhone? Thanks.

Without jailbreaking your phone, no.

One thing you could do is set up a text replacement shortcut so that you can easily respond with something like "I cannot receive voice texts. Please re-send your message as text." using the shortcut "noaudio" or something.

I had no idea about text replacement, so while I am not the OP, thanks Rock Steady for sharing that! It's going to be a huge help.
