Description
Sound Effects constitutes one of the Sound Layers of an Acoustic Ecology, along with Foley, Ambiance, Music, and Dialogue [Peck (pending)]. We are adopting one definition [Peck (pending)] that allows to differentiate them from Foley, which constitute a common discussion. Whilst Foley consists of the set sounds that characterize an entity or event (e.g., closing a door), Sound Effects are sounds that are created ("invented") so that they may be associated to an entity or aspect whose own sonic expression does not exist or is not perceptible. The most quoted example of Sound Effects is the sound of the laser sword from the Star Wars movie series. Still, it is worth mentioning that many authors/designers use both terms interchangeably.
