'nam 'ambient' sounds


I just found this really interesting, I saw this film wearing my headphones and I can swear there are moments in this film where you can hear (just barely) people yelling and helicopters and machinegun fire in background, where it shouldn't be, really subtle and hard to hear out of a TV. Particularly in the scene where Ed Harris's character is speaking with an older couple about doing some work for them and he kinda "zones out" on them, hearing these sounds like they are on TV in the background. If intentional or not it allows me to imagine how these sounds may keep ringing in the ears of the veterans.
