sound effect
Manufactured movie noise
A sound effect is an artificially created or enhanced sound used in film, television, radio, theater, or video games to accompany action or create atmosphere.
Footsteps, explosions, doors creaking, rain falling—these are typically added in post-production rather than captured during filming.
The horror movie relied heavily on sound effects to build tension.
