Dolby Labs started in the audio industry as a noise reduction specialist. This was during the era of tape based analog recording when one of the big issues was tape noise. The noise could be heard as a background hiss.
Dolby's early products were noise reduction hardware that could be used during the recording and playback process to reduce the noise. It was used in virtually all domestic and professional tape machines as well as film soundtracks. Movies that used the technology normally credit Dolby with the double D logo and the "Dolby Stereo" text.
The original noise reduction processes are almost obsolete with the advent of digital recording (no tape means no tape noise). Dolby have since moved into other forms of audio processing, surround sound in particular. Movies of today no longer carry the DOlby Stereo credit but Dolby Surround credits instead.
