Directors/producers spend a ton of money getting to locations to shoot the right environment. But almost nothing for the soundscapes.
There's something deep in our DNA -- even if we've never been to a place or heard a particular bird or mammal -- that tells us when a particular match of visuals and sound feels right. This is especially true in film.
Every time something is amiss, there's a signal that triggers a message in our brains telling us that something about the portrayal is out of whack.
