A) Sound effects: a sound other than speech or music made artificially for use in a play, film, or other broadcast production.
Above is an example of different sound effects created in a studio to match a pre recorded video. When they are beating each other up, they use a piece of meat in the studio to make it sound like someone's actually getting beaten up. In a visual product the sounds need to match up exactly to the video to make it look real, whereas if it were just a radio listening product then it wouldn't matter because no one would be able to see whats going on, they just imagine it.
B) Atmospheric sound: Ambient sound (AKA ambient audio, ambience, atmosphere, or background noise) means the background sounds which are present in a scene or location. Common ambient sounds include wind, water, birds, crowds, office noises, traffic, etc.
Above is a video that shows different ways foley artists create atmospheric sounds.They show how they generate the idea of wind blowing through a cape. This is simply achieved by getting a microphone and shaking a cape up and down. They also layer different sounds on top to make it more realistic. Such as feet walking on snow and snow falling.

C) Music: vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.
Universal Studios use a band to create their instrumental sounds. When there's music on radio it stimulates reality and creates something off screen which isn't there. Visually it helps us get in the mood. For example in the video above they were building up different instruments to create tension and makes the listener feel intimidated.

D) Dialogue/speech: a conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or film.
Dialogue is a very important part of sound. It can be rerecorded in post production if there are other noises that take over the speech. Smaller sounds that make the scene feel more real and alive are also added in post production. In radio there is usually a script set out just like one in theatre which also includes technical directions for sound effects and music.
You need to add in clips from different media products and explain how the elements generate meaning for the audience
