description The sound effects in the radio series fulfill an essential function in the recreation of scenarios and actions. They also contribute to grant credibility to the scenes represented and favor the generation of mental images for the listener, from both denotative and connotative perspectives. In the present article, the analysis of a specific case is presented: the one corresponding to the Taxi Key police series. Among the objectives of the study we find the following: to identify and describe the main functions played by sound effects in the scripts of the series, as well as its connection with the detective genre and mystery setting; to establish the existence (if that is the case) of any evolution in terms of the number of effects used depending on the various stages of the series, as well as to determine which are the most frequent sound effects in the chapters analyzed. The results show that in the Taxi Key series the descriptive-environmental function prevails, although narrative and expressive functions are also present. The first stage of the series is the one that registers a greater diversity of sound effects.
