Diegetic

The iconic intro of the James Bond movies has a diegetic sound effect because we hear the gunshot as it happens on the screen.

Sound is called diegetic when its source is visible or implied in the world of the film. Common diegetic sounds present in most films are:

• actors speaking to each other (dialogue)
• sounds originating from any object on the screen, like footsteps and police sirens
• music that comes from a sound system or orchestra

Non-Diegetic

Sound is said to be nondiegetic when its source is not present or implied in the narrative universe. Common instances are:

• music or score, used to augment emotions
• actor’s commentary or narration
• any extra sound added for effect

Non-diegetic is also known as commentary or nonliteral sound
