What are foley sound effects?
Foley sound effects recreate everyday noises made by people or objects. They're added in post-production to make scenes feel more real, like the sound of footsteps matching each step or a coat rustling as someone puts it on.
Common examples of foley sound effects include:
- Footsteps on different surfaces
- Clothes rustling or zippers opening
- Picking up or placing down objects
- Clinking glasses, cutlery, or keys
- Doors creaking open or slamming shut
Foley sounds often go unnoticed, but they’re essential for grounding a scene and helping it feel connected to the real world. Read more about foley sound effects in our blog post!
