Foley sounds is are recreated sounds for movies. For example, if the sound of an actor's footsteps were not recorded well or disrupted by a noise from the surroundings such as a plane, a Foley sound effect would replace the actually sound from the set. In fact, except for dialogue and music, almost all the sounds you hear in Hollywood films is Foley sound.
Foley artists work in a Foley studio, a room with many props, a viewing screen and recording equipment. The artist watches the film and creates the sound in real time. In most cases several different tracks are recorded, for example, a "move track", which includes the sounds of general movement, footsteps, clothes rustling, crockery clinking, paper folding, doors opening and slamming, punches hitting, glass breaking, etc.
Foley artists use a variety of props to create sounds. Some are the same as the actual sound source, for example, footsteps are created by the artist putting on the right type of shoes and walking on the appropriate surface (Foley studios include different surfaces such as wood, asphalt, etc). Other sounds use more inventive methods, for example, punches can be made by hitting a taped-up phone book or a roasted chicken. - LOL
