Background sounds of autos or el trains in a street scene enhance the visual and audio of the scene, however, when that is accompanied by loud music, guitars, piano music or electronic musical sound effects we get garbage. Seems the sound directors get their way by implanting this annoying sound effects at the expense of dialogue. I have, on numerous occasions, turned off the TV or DVD because the background noise is overwhelming. Does anyone care about the viewing audience? I don't think so.
