Definition of sound effect in English English dictionary: An artificially created or enhanced sound, used to accompany the action of a dramatic production, such as a film, play or video game; an effect that imitates a sound called for in the script of a play; artificially generated sound used for simulations; Sound effects are the sounds that are created artificially to make a play more realistic, especially a radio play. An imitative sound, as of thunder or an explosion, produced artificially for theatrical purposes, as for a film, play, or radio program. Often used in the plural. Artificial imitation of sound to accompany action and supply realism in a dramatic production. Sound effects were first used in the theatre, where they can represent a range of action too vast or difficult to present onstage, from battles and gunshots to trotting horses and rainstorms. Various methods were devised by backstage technicians to reproduce sounds (e.g., rattling sheet metal to create thunder); today most sound effects are reproduced by recordings. An important part of old-fashioned radio dramas, sound effects are still painstakingly added to television and movie soundtracks
