Question

Sound design creates atmosphere and tension in horror films through carefully crafted audio elements. Low-frequency drones below normal hearing range create feelings of unease and dread without audiences realizing why. Sudden silence can be more terrifying than loud noises, as it signals that something dangerous is about to happen. Everyday sounds distorted or played at wrong speeds transform familiar noises into unsettling threats. Strategic use of music builds tension during quiet scenes and releases it during jump scares.
