Walla sound effects, the murmur of people talking where nobody can quite make out a word. Restaurants, airports, school corridors, shopping centres, theatres, stadiums and pubs. Small groups and huge crowds. It's the bed under almost every scene with people in it, and once it's missing, the room feels dead straight away.

The name comes from old radio, where actors playing a Crowd would mutter the word walla over and over so nothing clear cut through. Film still works much the same way: loop groups record walla to sit under the dialogue, and editors fill the gaps with recordings like these. The trick is matching the place. A Restaurant wants cutlery and close tables, a Market wants traders calling out, and a stadium wants a roar that rises and falls with the game. Language matters too, because a clear word in the wrong accent pulls an audience out. There's walla here from all over, plus battle crowds for historical scenes and empty school corridors for horror.
