Foleying

Foleying is a sounds effect technique for synchronous or live effects. They are laid manually, and not cut in to film. It amplifies sounds that would not be easily heard otherwise in original filming. Sounds are added in post-production. For example, metal tubes are filled with metal trays, empty soda cans, knives, forks, broken staple guns etc, to create sounds from comedy crashes to adding presence to something as serious as a car crash. The purpose of this is to make the quality of sound better. This video gives more examples;
