Sound effect artists add sounds to movies.

Many sounds that you hear were added after the movie was filmed.

In a movie, you might see a door close and hear the sound.

Sometimes, the real sound is not loud enough or clear enough.

So in most movies, the sound was added later!

This is called Foley.
