The sound effects can be background tracks, dialogues, other sound design elements along with different mood enhancements sounds. Let’s take an example of a horror scene where a face appears suddenly with a harsh sound effect or a sound of a laser wand zap.

These sounds are easily available in sound effect libraries.

Now you must become familiar that how these sounds play an effective role in creating motion graphics.
