Sound design is the process of creating and manipulating audio elements to enhance the overall auditory experience in various forms of media, such as movies, television shows, video games, theater productions, and more. It involves the careful selection and arrangement of sounds, including dialogue, music, ambient noises, and special effects, to achieve specific emotional or thematic goals and immerse the audience in the storytelling.
