Is it just me or do any of y'all see b-rated movie studios shoot themselves in the foot with their sound design? (Think high pitched, piezo speaker type sounds) (lemmy.today)

I love bad horror movies and I've noticed a common trend. They all seem to have super high pitched random background sounds that irritate the fuck out of me! Like I just got one of those Digimon 20th anniversary guys a few months ago, and just noticed after the battery died I'll be hearing it cry while watching bad horror movies. I'm an older millennial who took great care of my hearing in my younger days so tomorrow isn't an issue. But I hear these high pitched sounds that make me wonder if the battery was really dead, only to check out my digivice and find that it is still completely dead.

I think it is worth considering that every single b-rated movie has a huge pile of things they had to cut that probably made them cried for days and will regret cutting for the rest of their lives. Movies cost a fortune to make, and every single element costs more than you can imagine. At a certain point it is the choice between shitty sound or abandoning big enough plot points to kill the whole project.
