Technically, there is no Director Of Sound in a movie. The person in charge of the Sound Department on a motion picture set is the Production Sound Mixer. In post production, it would be the Sound Designer.
Be aware, however, that a film's 'soundtrack' also includes all foley sounds added in post production, dubbed dialog, the film score and so forth, in addition to the sounds captured on set and there are department heads in each of those areas.
Here's the definition from IMDb:
"Sound Crew"
AKA: Sound, Sound Engineer, Sound Assistant, etc.
"The group of crew members directly involved with creating of a movie's soundtrack. Individual job titles include: sound designer, sound editor, sound effects, sound mixer, sound recordist, boom operator, re-recording mixer, music supervisor, and foley artist."
The post production Sound Editor of a movie could have several "bosses." His/her immediate boss would be either the post production sound supervisor, or managing editor, or sound producer. The Sound Editor's ultimate boss would be the director of the movie and/or the executive producer, depending on what their final say is in the production of the movie.
A movie using sound was called a "talking" picture, or a "talky".
The music from a movie is called the sound track.

There is a lot of etiquette for movie sets. You are allowed to talk softly until the Assistant Director yells out "Stand By" and then "Quiet Please...roll sound" and then after that, no one is allowed to talk except the actors and the Director. When the Director yells "Cut" those who have jobs on set may talk softly again.
by making noises called bat noise.
A way of making a sound like thunder
Someone making something sound more prominent than usual is called an "Exaggerating" person.
Jobs such as Stage Director, Assistant Director, Artisitic Director, Sound and Lighting, casting Directors, Musicians, Actors, etc.
Could it also be because of the term,'sounding the depth' ? IE, the water is deep enough,making it a sound anchorage.
The Production Sound Mixer on a movie set is the person in charge of the Sound Department. Their main function is to make all the decisions about how to record the dialog and sound effects for the movie. They also are the person who operates the recorder that captures the sound coming from the microphones used to record the sound. The typical movie sound department will also have a person who is called the Boom Operator, who is the person who holds a boom pole and microphone over the actors while they talk, as well as one or more sound assistants.
