Sound

Diegetic sound is sometimes known as ‘actual sound’ and the term comes from the Greek word diegesis, which translates as ‘to narrate’.

In contrast to diegetic sound, which is heard by both the audience and the film’s characters, non-diegetic sound is only heard by the viewers. This type of sound and music is added in post-production.
