Sound Effects

Sound effects (also referred to as SFX) are part of the soundtrack that is used to enhance and add dramatic emphasis to particular sections of narrative. Sound effects have the ability to override other soundtrack elements for dramatic effects. They are more prevalent in specific genres, for instance, in action and science fiction, where unidentifiable sounds are used to indicate otherworldliness.
