sound effect
noun sound effects
- An artificially created or enhanced sound, used to accompany the action of a dramatic production, such as a film, play or video game.
- A caption in a comic strip representing a sound. It's also becoming more commonplace for artists to add some of their own sound effects while they're drawing the art. If they haven't drawn all of the sound effects, you may decide to mimic the style of their existing sound effects with digital brushes for a more homogenous look.
