Introduction
A sound effect is an artificially created or enhanced sound. It is used to emphasise artistic or other content for:

Where Do I Find Sound Effects?
They can be recorded at the original source using microphones and recording equipment. Sounds can include things like:
- street scenes like in your local high street
- dogs barking
- thunder
Or they can be found in sound effect libraries which are available online.
