Discuss how Hitchcock manipulates sound effects in Psycho

What will be an ideal response?


In Psycho, the main character (Janet Leigh) drives her car through a
rainstorm. On the soundtrack, we hear her windshield wiper blades slashing
furiously against the downpour. Later, when she is taking a shower in a motel, these
same sounds are repeated. The source of the water noise is apparent, but the slashing
sounds seem to come from nowhere—until a demented killer crashes into the
bathroom brandishing a knife.
