A foley sound is a non-diegetic sound, which is interpreted as a diegetic sound by the viewer. 'Foley sounds' are commonly used in various scenes such as fight scenes, where the connection of a hit is emphasised. An example of foley sounds being used is shown below:
As you can see, the hits are emphasised by the foley sounds, which are in sync with the connection of the punches and kicks that these two fighters throw. Making the hits far more emphatic allows the viewer to become more intrigued, in contrast to a scene which doesn't radiate such a dynamic feature, and ends up being bland as a result.
Here, I have produced my own scene which incorporates the foley sounds that I have been talking about:
What I have learned from my recent experience of foley sounds is that I am able to used non-diegetic sounds to emphasise the effect of diegetic sounds, to increase the intention of certain aspects of a movie. As I am working on horror, I will have to be looking for diegetic sounds which are emphasised (such as screams, door movements etc).
