Do unnecessary sound effects bug you?


Sometimes the foley crew go too far.

Like computers buzzing and clicking as they process information.

My computer has never done that.

But most annoying is when they add sounds that don't exist.

In Terminator Dark Fate, a fly is cut in two and falls on a dining table. Both parts of the fly make a sound as it touches the table.

Perhaps half a fly hitting a table would technically make a sound, but humans wouldn't be able to hear it.

No, not really... Rarely annoying.

One of my favorite movies is The Wild Geese (1978) but the gunshot sound effects are really bad. The UZI’s in 9mm are loud as hell while the FAL’s in .308 are like little silenced pops. The famous mercenary Mad Mike Hoare was the technical advisor on the film, but I’m guessing had nothing to do with the sound editing.
