The background sounds which are present in a scene or location. Example: Birdsong and wind in a forest scene.

The process of varying a sound signal to produce a new sound with different characteristics. Example: Applying a vibrato effect to a voice to indicate tension.

The process of changing the original pitch of an audio signal without affecting its tempo. Example: Transposing a scream to a lower pitch to make it sound more menacing.

Audio elements used to create or enhance a particular auditory impression. Example: Explosion sounds in an action scene.

The distribution of a sound signal into a new stereo or multi-channel sound field. Example: A vehicle moving from left to right across the screen having its sound move from left speaker to right.

Aligning the rhythm of sound effects or music to the tempo of a scene. Example: Synchronizing footsteps or heartbeat to the pace of a suspenseful moment.

The persistence of sound after the sound is produced as it bounces off the walls and objects. Example: The echoey quality of a voice in a cathedral.

Creation of everyday sound effects that are added to films in post-production to enhance audio quality. Example: Footsteps, clothes rustling, and door creaks.

The process of reducing the volume difference between the loudest and quietest parts of an audio signal. Example: Making whispers and screams more uniformly audible.

The process of generating sound using electronic hardware or software instruments. Example: Creating a monster's roar by blending and manipulating various synthesized sounds.

Technique of stacking multiple sounds to create a more complex and rich audio. Example: Combining different animal sounds to craft a unique creature's vocalization.

A channel in a multi-channel audio system dedicated to the reproduction of low-pitched audio frequencies. Example: The rumble of an earthquake in a disaster movie.

Sound that is not a part of the story world and is intended only for the audience's hearing. Example: A film's score or soundtrack.

Sound that is a part of the story world and can logically be heard by the characters in the film. Example: Radio music that the characters are listening to.

A full-sphere surround sound technique that includes sounds from above and below the listener. Example: Used to create a 360-degree audio environment in VR applications.
