The difference between background music and special effects music

1. Background music, also known as accompaniment and soundtrack, usually refers to a kind of music used to adjust the atmosphere in TV dramas, movies, animations, electronic games and websites. Special effects music is some short-term environmental sounds, such as some funny cartoon calls, thunder, ha ha laugh and so on.

2. Function. Inserting background music into the dialogue can enhance the expression of emotions and give the audience an immersive feeling. Special effects music adds noise or sound to vocal cords to enhance the realism, atmosphere or dramatic information of the scene.
