Sometimes, a work forgoes a soundtrack, usually for added realism. Early sound films tended to have no music tracks unless there was an on-scene source (a radio or a stage orchestra). This was partially due to the limitations of early film sound recording technology, as well as a desire for greater realism (and a belief that audiences would be asking where the music was coming from). In the early years of sound cinema, there was a debate over whether film sound should be naturalistic, corresponding only with the on-screen action; or serve as an artistic counterpoint to the images, with music and sound effects providing a kind of commentary on the action. Eventually the solution was to Take a Third Option and strike a happy medium, with dialogue recorded on set complemented with a music score and augmented sound effects. Almost ubiquitous in fly-on-the-wall and Mockumentary-style works. Can potentially invoke Nothing Is Scarier when used in horror-oriented works. Sister Trope of Silence Is Golden, Deliberately Monochrome, and Reality Has No Subtitles. Compare Quieter Than Silence and Silent Credits. Contrast Left the Background Music On and Music Video Syndrome. Examples |

Portrait of a Lady on Fire has almost no soundtrack to reflect how precious Héloïse finds music in a time period (the late 18th century) where recordings don't exist and concerts are typically a privilege only enjoyed by the rich. As such, the only three instances of music are entirely diegetic and very significant: the scene of Marianne playing a bit of "Summer" from Vivaldi's Four Seasons on the harpsichord for Héloïse, the women singing at the bonfire, and the ending scene, in which Marianne witnesses Héloïse being moved to tears while listening to a full orchestra play "Summer." | |

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, arguably the darkest but certainly the most realistic Story of Seasons title, lacks background music with a few exceptions, notably the record player in your house and occasional guitar music at the local bar.

The Grand Theft Auto series is rather famous for its lack of background music - up until Grand Theft Auto V, there are very few times throughout the series where there is non-digetic music playing.

M*A*S*H started out using musical scores throughout each episode, like most sitcoms of the era, but starting in the second season on it was gradually phased out, reserved for lengthy comedic sequences and before and after commercial breaks. By season eight, the background music was gone entirely. According to Burt Metcalf, it was removed to be "just like the actual Korean War". Likewise, the canned laughter forced by the network was scaled back as the series wore on, ultimately being absent in the finale. | |

The individual segments of Rocky and Bullwinkle have no background music outside of their opening and closing sequences. This appears to be more due to low budgets than to artistic reasons, although with its rapid-fire dialogue, a music score seems redundant. The exception is Dudley Do-Right, which has a piano score as part of its spoofing of (ironically) silent film conventions. At least a couple of Aesop & Son shorts, like "The Dog and His Shadow" and "The Sick Lion", did have original scores. | |

All in the Family had a few isolated incidents of Sentimental Music Cue in the first season (most notably in the scene when Archie comforts Gloria after she miscarries) but this can be chalked up to Early-Installment Weirdness as the series completely lacks any kind of soundtrack (excepting the opening and closing themes) from the second season on, helping to enhance the feeling of watching a videotaped stage play. | |

Ghost of Tsushima likewise has a beautiful soundtrack, complete with a suite with various movements, but outside of cutscenes and battle, the game itself is almost completely bereft of music. Some special locations have low-key, atmospheric themes, but they're very rare and you'll probably walk or ride away from the area (or enter combat) before you hear more than a few seconds of them. | |

Jurassic Park: The entire T. rex attack on the tour vehicles, from the first cut back to the stalled cars all the way to the rex's final roar, is done with no musical score whatsoever, with the drumming of the rain, cracks of thunder, monstrous footsteps, terrified screams, smashing of glass, scraping of metal and dinosaur roars instead providing the soundscape. The music again cuts out during Nedry's encounter with the Dilophosaurus after he crashes his car, which carries over into much of the next scene as Grant tries to find Tim. | |

FLCL Alternative: The final scene from episode 5 remarkably doesn't have score to accompany the actions of the scene; in which Pets symbolically decides to break off ties with Kana by taking back her hairpin and returning Kana's. | |

Yomawari: Night Alone and its sequel Yomawari: Midnight Shadows lack a score, preferring to utilize the sounds of the wind blowing through the trees, the chirping of crickets, the hammering heartbeat of the protagonists and the moans and groans of spirits to create a tenser atmosphere. The only time music is ever played occurs during the game credits. The third game in the series, Yomawari: Lost in the Dark also has music on the title screen, but this is the only other song on the game's score (other than the credits theme). | |

The Pianist has no music unless the main character is playing a piano or hearing someone else play an instrument. | |

The Sopranos generally avoids non-diegetic music. When it does appear, it's always very noticeable, and the most dramatic scenes tend to be music-free. | |

About Schmidt has no musical soundtrack. In one scene, Schmitt's daughter has the radio on, but it is the only music you'll hear in the movie. | |

The Florida Project is, with the exception of its final scene, entirely scoreless. | |
