CORRECTION to C3-B054-G19-06: do the cited FilmSound pages really contain a Weis claim that absence stands out in dense tracks, and Murch 'coronas' for characters? (No: those two parts are not in the cited pages; the silence and signature-sound parts are.)
Problem. C3-B054-G19-06 says on sound's narrative roles, silence and motifs that 'Weis adds that in dense tracks absence stands out' and that motifs include 'Murch's character coronas'. Audit result (fidelity audit, 23 Oct 2026, four cited filmsound.org pages re-fetched and searched whole-document): supported parts. (a) The three roles direct narrative, subliminal and grammatical are on the Roles of Sound page, which is an edited excerpt of Tomlinson Holman's 1997 introduction to Sound for Film and TV, not Weis. (a) Murch calls silence useful but 'not used that often' and cites the end of The Godfather Part II, where he dropped the track to the atmos and then shut it down. (a) Murch cites Welles's held silence of 20 or 30 seconds in the War of the Worlds radio broadcast (the page says 'War of the Worlds'; the original candidate's '1938 radio drama' date is not stated on the cited page).

- [sourced_fact] Problem. C3-B054-G19-06 says on sound's narrative roles, silence and motifs that 'Weis adds that in dense tracks absence stands out' and that motifs include 'Murch's character coronas'. Audit result (fidelity audit, 23 Oct 2026, four cited filmsound.org pages re-fetched and searched whole-document): supported parts. (a) The three roles direct narrative, subliminal and grammatical are on the Roles of Sound page, which is an edited excerpt of Tomlinson Holman's 1997 introduction to Sound for Film and TV, not Weis. (a) Murch calls silence useful but 'not used that often' and cites the end of The Godfather Part II, where he dropped the track to the atmos and then shut it down. (a) Murch cites Welles's held silence of 20 or 30 seconds in the War of the Worlds radio broadcast (the page says 'War of the Worlds'; the original candidate's '1938 radio drama' date is not stated on the cited page). (a) Signature sounds per character: Murch says the main characters' cars in American Graffiti each had a signature sound, and in Touch of Evil radio music 'anticipates the car'. Unsupported by the cited pages (d): the name Weis, the idea that absence stands out in dense tracks, the term 'corona', and any 'dense' track discussion returned zero hits across all four pages (and the two other FilmSound pages used by the sibling candidate). Method for a reader. Keep the Holman/Murch/Welles claims; drop or re-source the Weis and corona statements, or cite the actual book they came from. Failure mode. Repeating the Weis and corona statements as if they were on FilmSound. Limitations. Absence is shown only for the cited URLs; the claims may be true elsewhere. Even the supported parts are practitioner assertions with no audience testing, as the original said. Version/date. Pages re-fetched 2026-10-23. · locator: Murch interview, silence paragraph; Welles section; car radio / explosion section; page footer source
