“In the previous examples, worldizing was used for dialogue or music, but it has also been used very effectively for sound effects.”

“Murch also explained to Jarrett, in the same discussion, how worldizing was central to American Graffiti’s sense of place: “The idea was that every teenage car in this town was turned to the same station, and, therefore, anywhere you went in the town, you heard this sound echoing off the buildings and passing by in cars.””
