Something curious I’ve noticed when watching films with the subtitles on – e.g when the diction is appalling and/or the sound all over the place – is that captions like [siren wails] appear on the screen but often, no siren sound is audible.
This suggests that the titles are derived from a script and never checked against the final editing job by a Titles Monitor. Or by an FX Monitor to make sure that the noises and gadgets match the titles.
