Description

Foley constitutes one of the Sound Layers and Semantics, along with Ambiance, Sound Effects, Music, and Dialogue [Peck (pending)]. We are adopting one definition that allows to differentiate Foley from Sound Effects, which constitute a common discussion. Foley consists of the set sounds that characterize an entity or event (e.g., a door closing, Footsteps, ), whilst Sound Effects are sounds that are "invented" so that they may be associated to entities or aspects whose own sonic expression does not exist or is not perceptible (e.g. the sound of the laser sword).

Still, it is worth mentioning that many authors/designers use both terms interchangeably.
