Sound is created by vibrations that move through air particles and create sound waves. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of vibrations, with higher pitches resulting from faster vibrations and lower pitches from slower vibrations. There are two types of sound used in films - diegetic sound, which comes from visible or implied sources within the story, and non-diegetic sound, which comes from sources outside the story like narration, music, or added sound effects. Diegetic sounds can be either on screen or off screen, while non-diegetic sounds are represented as coming from outside the story space.
