Sound itself is important in life, it demonstrates behaviours, a way of communication, it protects us from the dangers surrounding us, gives us a diverse amount of entertainment and helps us understand life itself.
Sound is important in TV drama because the whole point of a drama is to relate to their audience and to over-exaggerate life. In order to do both, TV Dramas genuinely use Diegetic and non-diegetic sound.
In a scene where an emotional realistic story is occurring with a narrator speaking non-diegetic sound is used to make the scene seem more emotional. A scene where a car chase and a crash has occurred sound effects will be used to over-exaggerate the scene in this scene diegetic sound is used.
