Capturing the Sounds of War in National Geographic’s ‘The Cave’

” depicts the harrowing and true story of the Syrian War. As bombs rattle the walls of a Syrian hospital and planes fly overhead, Dr. Amani Ballour and her fellow doctors tend to Syria’s wounded civilians.

Two words you wouldn’t normally associate with documentaries are Dolby Atmos, yet it was important to the sound design of this to create the immersive element of the documentary. It’s not a sound reserved exclusively for action-packed blockbusters. Albrechtsen collaborated with Fayyad to get the sound design right. “I got hold of recordings of lo-fi hospital machinery like what was used in the cave,” he said. “I knew that the vibrations and rattles of the walls in the cave would be a big element, and I got hold of some wonderful metallic rattles that I could use for this. I recorded sounds of these stretchers rolling through underground hallways at a hospital in Copenhagen, where I live.

In addition to the warplanes and bombs, he had to clean the dialogue for the documentary — a process that took “many, many weeks.”
