Non-diegetic sound: It is sound which is represented as coming from a source outside the story space, i.e. its source is neither visible on the screen, nor has been implied to be present in the action. Also called "non-literal sound" or "commentary sound":
Narrator's commentary;
Voice of God;
Sound effect which is added for dramatic effect;
Mood music; and
Film score
Non-diegetic sound plays a significant role in creating the atmosphere and mood within a film.
Very commonly diegetic shift occurs from one to the other, for example when characters are listening to music, then start dancing and the music becomes non-diegetic to indicate being 'lost in the moment'.
