"Sound mixers in movies work much like recording engineers do. They isolate the sound of the actor's voice as much as possible, and then re-create the ambience of the environment later, adding birds, crickets, restaurant chatter, or whatever else is needed. What's fascinating is that even those "natural" sounds are not "true" documents of an environment.

For example, the sound of one solitary cricket mixed quietly into a scene can evoke a complete outdoor nighttime ambience in the mind of the audience, even though a true nighttime ambience would likely include distant traffic, wind, a faraway plane, a couple of barking dogs, and, yes, a whole bunch of crickets. All of this would be, if heard all together, perceived as sonic chaos, and wouldn't convey the tranquil nighttime mood that was intended.

Our brains organize the sound we hear in the same way our eyes selectively see. Re-creating what something sounds like, what a sound or sonic environment feels like, in a music recording or a film, has become an art that some people are better at than others."
