Non-diegetic sound
Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has
been implied to be present in the action:
narrator's

sound effects
which is added for the dramatic effect
mood music
Non-diegetic sound is represented as coming from the a
source outside story space.
The distinction between diegetic or non-diegetic sound
depends on our understanding of the conventions of film viewing and
listening. We know of that certain
sounds are represented as coming from the story world, while others are represented as coming from outside the space
of the story events. A play with
diegetic and non-diegetic conventions can be used to create ambiguity (horror),
or to surprise the audience (comedy).
Another term for non-diegetic sound is commentary sound.
