This phrase is from THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW by A. J. Finn.
1. diegetic sound – “This time I’m coiled on the sofa, watching Rifi fi — the extended heist sequence, half an hour without a syllable of dialogue or a note of music, just diegetic sound and the hum of blood in your ears.”
Diegetic sound is sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film. It’s sometimes referred to as actual sound.

What words do you want to celebrate today?
I don’t even remember seeing that word when I read that book a few years ago. Good one!
Hmm interesting new word! Love it!
Nope. But I sure have heard a lot about this book.
I would not have guessed that word. I’ll be looking for your review of this book.
I was clueless!
This tech stuff is usually way over my head, but I’m seeing these kinds od words more often. Good catch Kathy.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard that word before.
The Woman in the Woods in on my wishlist. I really hope to read it soon! I was waiting for a library copy, but I might just have to buy it…
A new one for me.
It hurts my head to try to figure out that word.
Who would have thought you would need a word to convey “actual” sound. What is it if it is not actual? I don’t get it. I agree it’s head hurting, LOL!
Your word this week is new to me!
