Sound

Diegetic -
Dialogue - Actors voice can add important info about a character - pitch and tone.

Synchronous sounds - noises that match what you see.

Asynchronous - no source, but can hear it. (Can't see where it's coming from)
The asynchronous ambulance siren underscores the psychic injury incurred in the argument; at the same time, the noise of the siren adds to the realism of the film by acknowledging the film's (avowed) city setting.

Non diegetic -
Background music - used to create emotion and add rhythm to a film.
 Usually not supposed to be noticeable, and often foreshadows a change in the mood.

Dissonant music - Music that indicate an approaching.

 Background music can also link scenes.

Sound bridge - music that creates a flow through scenes.
