People in Real Life usually don't have music following them everywhere they go. But often people do find they've got some underscoring happening in their life — be it from their car radio as they're driving, a band at a bar, or a street musician outside.
Source Music, also known as diegetic music, is Truth in Television in this regard: it's music that the characters can hear (or perform) themselves, and that would be playing even if the scene were happening in real life. Of course, the music usually serves a dramatic purpose as well: either it helps establish setting and character, or it comments on the action happening in the foreground.
See also In-Universe Soundtrack, Suspiciously Apropos Music, AM/FM Characterization, Mocking Music, and Left the Background Music On. Characters who may provide Source Music include The Piano Player, the Street Musician, and the Wandering Minstrel. Someone else may react with Musical Number Annoyance. If Source Music becomes Background Music in mid-stream, that's a Diegetic Switch. Also see Diegetic Musical.

In Twilight Princess, the Skull Kid has you play a game of hide-and-seek with him in the Sacred Grove; if you can hear his horn playing Saria's Song, you'll know you're getting close to his location.

Predator has the main cast listening to "Long Tall Sally" on the chopper's PA during the flight in-country. Later towards the movie's climax, Mac sings the song himself as he's slowly going mad from being hunted by the Predator.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire: The film has almost no soundtrack to reflect how precious Héloïse finds music in a time period 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."

A lot of the music in Rio Bravo is source music, from the playing of Deguello to wear down the besieged to Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson singing and whistling. This was a conscious choice by director Howard Hawks to the overpowering non-diegetic use of the theme tune and song in High Noon. Funnily enough, Dimitri Tiomkin composed the score for both films.

American Graffiti is another example where all the music is diegetic (save for The Beach Boys' "All Summer Long", played over the closing credits; which is just as well, given that that song came out in 1964 and the movie is set in '62).

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain features a Walkman as a period-appropriate equivalent to the iPod, as well as a loudspeaker as a purchasable upgrade for your support helicopter which can also play music. The description for the upgrade questions whether it has any appreciable purpose, but notes the psychological value it might have. In the PC version, you can play anything from your music library on either the Walkman or loudspeaker, no matter how silly.

Every once in a while in Lovely Little Losers, one of the characters will post a video of a song they wrote and performed themselves. Most of the time, the songs comment obliquely on what's been happening in the story. Sometimes, they even clue viewers into what's happened off-screen. For much of the series, these songs are the only real insight the viewers get into the characters' inner lives.

Bloodborne has this in Yahar'Ghul, the Unseen Village. The first time the player ends up there, Ominous Latin Chanting is coming from everywhere in a song called "Hail The Nightmare". It's audible everywhere as well, and once the player gets outside it only gets louder. Fitting, considering that the song is the beginning of a ritual to attempt to summon a Great One into reality.

With the notable exception of "The Power of Love", all songs in Back to the Future are diegetic, either being performed by the film's characters ("Earth Angel", "Johnny B. Goode") or heard on the radio in-universe (everything else). Even "Back in Time", which plays over the end credits, is first heard on the clock-radio in Marty's bedroom. Averted by Alan Silvestri's score, which is non-diegetic.

Chicago has an actual musical performance at the beginning of the movie, and a second at the end. Basically all the other music is characterized as Imagine Spots by showbiz-obsessed protagonist Roxie Hart, often juxtaposed against the "Real Life" depiction of the same event. The result is that every song is diegetic. This is particularly impressive given that Chicago is a movie musical.

Matt Monro's "From Russia with Love" is heard over the radio in the film with the same name.
And in another James Bond film, the singer in a club sings "Live and Let Die".
"Do You Know How Christmas Trees are Grown" plays in a PA speaker in the background as Bond arrives in Switzerland, and later as Bond evades Blofeld and his men by hiding in the evening crowd.

In season 4 of Arrested Development, it's a running gag that every time Gob gets depressed (which is frequently), "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel plays in the background. In episode 11, there's a scene where the song starts to play again, causing Gob to turn around and realize that it's being played by a passing mariachi band, commenting "Oh, it's not us!"

The cantina on board the Hyperion in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty has a jukebox that plays music when you enter it. At least two cutscenes that happen in the cantina have specific music playing from that jukebox—immediately after Raynor's dream, a cover of "Free Bird" is playing as Matt Horner tries to tell Raynor to get himself together, and the Bar Brawl cutscene has a cover of "Sweet Home Alabama" playing up until the jukebox gets unplugged.

Final Fantasy VII:
Everyone in the party is horrified by the awful marching music blaring out of Junon when Rufus Shinra arrives.
There are two pianos in Nibelheim which the player can play. Playing Cloud's Theme on the piano in Tifa's old bedroom causes Cloud to remark that he's 'heard this melody somewhere before', as well as providing you with an important endgame item for Tifa if you're far enough through the game.

Outside of cutscenes, the only music in Grand Theft Auto comes from your car's radio - which you can change the station on, or even turn off altogether.
This is no longer the case in Grand Theft Auto V, which introduces non-diegetic background music for selected missions or when operating certain vehicles without the radio on.

Mogambo is another example of a movie with only diegetic music. There are various scenes where African tribesmen are chanting or singing, and Ava Gardner sings a song in one scene, but there's no score.

In HBO's Westworld, the pianola in the Mariposa saloon is often set to play piano versions of various popular songs, such as No Surprises by Radiohead or Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. The music is played to please the guests of the park's saloon, but the lyrics of the original songs also tend to relate to the scene at hand.

Happens quite often in Hot Wheels series World Race, AccelRacers, and Battle Force 5, considering that both Bassline and Reverb are basically stereos with wheels, and so many scenes depict a close-up of one or more of the cars' speakers pulsing to the beat as if it's being played from said speakers. However, Diegetic Switch ensues immediately thereafter, making the song the overall BGM.

Metal Gear:
Metal Gear Solid plays Psycho Mantis's theme over some unrelated conversations, and the characters comment on it. It turns out that the tune is actually Mantis's 'mind control music' and a side-effect of using his powers. Extended canon has that the song is a piece of Russian classical music he remembers from his childhood, and people hear it by 'feedback'.
The funniest example is in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, when Snake enters Granin's office, and he's listening to a Sixties pop cover of the Metal Gear Solid theme tune on his record player.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots adds an iPod to Snake's inventory, which the player can listen to rather than the usual background music in an area. The best bit? Grab an enemy in CQC and play specific songs while holding him, and he will actually hear it and react in some manner.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain features a Walkman as a period-appropriate equivalent to the iPod, as well as a loudspeaker as a purchasable upgrade for your support helicopter which can also play music. The description for the upgrade questions whether it has any appreciable purpose, but notes the psychological value it might have. In the PC version, you can play anything from your music library on either the Walkman or loudspeaker, no matter how silly.

The main protagonist of Persona 3 is never, ever seen without his Atlus Audio MP3 player. He was even listening to the game's opening theme, "Burn My Dread," as he headed for the train station that would take him to his new home in Tatsumi Port Island. He listened to it on the train, for that matter, and during the Final Battle —it must be his favorite.

In There Was No Secret Evil Fighting Organization, the esper Miyama's superpower is to emit a sound that lets listeners use their superpowers indefinitely. He learned to incorporate the sound into his pre-existing guitar skills, with the result that every action scene he's in has some sort of background music. Several times his companions get angry at him for choosing unfitting music, such as the slapstick "Orpheus galop" during an assault operation.

Fallout: New Vegas uses this more seriously in the Dead Money expansion - the player character is fitted with a bomb collar that explodes if it is within range of speakers emitting a certain frequency for the entirety of their stay at the Sierra Madre. Radios there, still turned on but damaged after two centuries of exposure to the poisonous Cloud that blankets the area, emit the same frequency as the speakers, though the added bonus is that the player can turn them off or shoot them to make them stop.

Downplayed in the DC Super Hero Girls episode "Frenemies", where Catwoman's Legion of Doom kicks off the second half of the episode going on a wild crime spree across Metropolis with "Too Much Fun" playing in the background, which shortly includes stealing a car, and, later, driving past the "Sweet Justice" restaurant to taunt the occupants with the music now suddenly fading in and out as if it was coming from the car's speaker.

Things Change: The soundtrack for the opening credits is an Italian-style solo on mandolin. As the scene fades in, we see someone playing a mandolin. He stops, tunes it, plays some more, tries another mandolin off a wall, and takes it to the cash register of the music shop he's in. He passes by two characters who are actually relevant to the movie, and the plot begins.

The recently arrived at Earth, Orube, comments how funny the TV seems to be here, and the one thing that catches her attention most is that people inside the movies always seem to be accompanied by music in some scenes. At the end of the comic she decides to go out and in that same moment her neighbor is playing the piano, she approves of his playing skills and decides that tune to be her personal soundtrack.

In Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, most areas in the game have no music of their own. Instead, you can make a playlist of MD's (Moon Discs) you've collected and have that play on loop while you explore, and there are certain puzzles that require you to have a specific song playing. If an area does have its own music (typically an indoor area like a house), that music will usually be muffled when you're outside the building it plays in.

Macross Frontier toyed with the line several times, such as during the first episode in which Sheryl is giving a concert at the same time as a battle with the Vajra takes place outside the fleet, cutting between the two locations but never stopping the song, but no one seems to be aware of the other. There's no indication the soldiers could hear Sheryl's song, or that anyone at the concert was aware of the battle taking place. Except the Vajra, who we learn much later in the show attacked because they could hear Sheryl's song through fold waves.
Frontier also gives one of the few cases (possibly the only case in all of Macross) of music with lyrics being used as extra-diegetic: the epilogue of the series has the two lead females talking while the background music is both of them singing the series' main theme song.

Macross has diegetic music almost everywhere courtesy of there being at least one character who is an Idol Singer. In general, if the song has lyrics, it's probably diegetic, but the score is generally extra-diegetic.
Macross 7 was unique in that it had no score, just a guy who really, really, really likes to sing and play the guitar and quite often broadcast it over the entire battlefield. Incidentally, this made all the music of Macross 7 diegetic. Any other instances of music was clearly being played from a radio, such as Sharon Apple's music from Mylene's car radio.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
In Iron Man, AC/DC's "Back In Black" is playing during the opening scene as the Hummvees are driving through the desert. When we cut to the inside of one of the Hummvees, it turns out "Back In Black" is what's playing on the boombox nestled between the driver and front passenger seat.
In Iron Man 2, Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" is played by a DJ at Tony's request when he and Rhodes fight.
Then in The Avengers, he overrides the S.H.I.E.L.D. jet's PA system to blare AC/DC as he swoops in to take on Loki.
In both Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the music that the audience hears is often from Peter listening to his Walk Man.
At the end of Werewolf by Night (2022), Jack and Ted are chatting as "Over the Rainbow" plays on a stolen phonograph.

And then the camera zooms out and you see that it's coming from Hammond's walkie-talkie, and it's actually Jeremy playing tragic songs on what appears to be an iPod. He and James then giggle and howl along to the music, explaining Hammond's frown.

Fallout 3 has radios (which are oddly still functional after 200 years) sitting around turned on and playing music and other broadcasts from the in-game radio stations. The player also has a wrist-mounted radio that can receive the same stations.
There is non-diegetic background music if you shut down the radio function on your wrist computer, but there is less variation, most of the tunes are recycled from previous games, and some of the tunes are rather... quiet.
Fallout: New Vegas uses this more seriously in the Dead Money expansion - the player character is fitted with a bomb collar that explodes if it is within range of speakers emitting a certain frequency for the entirety of their stay at the Sierra Madre. Radios there, still turned on but damaged after two centuries of exposure to the poisonous Cloud that blankets the area, emit the same frequency as the speakers, though the added bonus is that the player can turn them off or shoot them to make them stop.

Arcane: Four examples from season one:
Ep. 2, "Some Mysteries Are Better Left Unsolved": The jukebox in The Last Drop plays "Our Love" while Powder mopes.
Ep. 4, "Happy Progress Day!": Jinx grooves to the grammophone in her lair when it plays the song from her League of Legends music video.
Ep. 5, "Everybody Wants To Be My Enemy": The title song for the series is played by animated versions of Imagine Dragons in the club in the Lanes where Sevika plays cards.
Ep. 9,"The Monster You Created": One of Silco's goons starts "When Everything Went Wrong" playing on the jukebox just before Vi walks into The Last Drop to face down Sevika.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:
This trope is invoked in order to help the player navigate the Lost Woods: if the music, which Saria is playing, gets quieter, you know you're going the wrong way.
A faint Ominous Pipe Organ can be heard as Link makes his way through Ganondorf's castle, growing louder as he climbs the stairs. Once Link reaches the top, Ganondorf is revealed to be playing the music himself.
There's also the man from the windmill in post-Time Skip Kakariko Village, who's playing the Song of Storms, which Link can learn from him. It turns out Link actually taught it to him pre-time skip, thus creating an ontological paradox.
In Twilight Princess, the Skull Kid has you play a game of hide-and-seek with him in the Sacred Grove; if you can hear his horn playing Saria's Song, you'll know you're getting close to his location.
In Breath of the Wild, you'll know that Kass the bard is near whenever you hear accordion music. If you meet him at any of the Stables or after he returns to Rito Village, he'll even be playing along with the otherwise extra-diegetic background music.

Halo:
In certain locations in every Bungie-made game, an Easter Egg source music from Bungie's Myth games called "Siege Of Madrigal" can be heard.
During the Pvt. Jenkins helmet cam cutscene in Halo: Combat Evolved, the Marines are listening to "flip music" (heavy-metal type stuff) aboard the Pelican. This song is unfortunately not on the soundtrack album.
In Halo 3, the song "Under Cover of Night" from the first game is played on a radio in the multiplayer level "High Ground".

In Dead Man's Chest, Davy Jones' theme is a haunting combination of a tune first played from a music box and then played on an Ominous Pipe Organ, and actually comes from his musical locket which is his only memory of the love he used to have, and is played by him on the Flying Dutchman's organ, respectively.

The cast of Steven Universe will occasionally provide their own background music, even when they're not outright performing it. In "Alone Together", Steven brings out an MP3 player with this music and invites Connie to dance with him. In a few others, Greg plays some music from his personal collection of CDs or vinyl records (among them, "Q U A D R I N O M E T R Y" and "Theme from An Endless Romance").

The Office (US) only uses this kind of music, though it sometimes cheats slightly and lays formerly diegetic music over another scene. An example of the latter is when Jim's brothers start playing Chris Brown's "Forever" as a prank during Jim and Pam's church wedding and it then plays over a montage of the wedding dance and their earlier secret elopement.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has music actually playing in-universe at two points. The first is when the squad is celebrating their destruction of the Hrimfaxi submarine - interestingly enough, the music is taken from the game's arcade mode. The second is at the start of the "Sea of Chaos" mission, where Captain Andersen plays "The Journey Home" over the Kestrel's loudspeaker, though after about a minute it undergoes a Diegetic Switch.

Used twice for comic effect in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. The first time is when John Slade leaves his apartment and is immediately followed down the street by a jazz band waiting outside, playing an instrumental version of the Shaft theme. When he meets up with Jack Spade, who asks who these men are, John remarks that they're "his theme music. Every hero should have some."
At the end of the film, a pair of rappers and a DJ with a portable turntable arrived to meet Jack after he becomes the big hero. John Slade asks who they are and Jack repeats the line about theme music. They then perform the music that is used for the ending credits.

The King of Fighters '97 is particularly unique in that only a few characters (Kyo, Iori, Terry, Athena, Shingo, the '97 Special teamnote each with their own theme and the New Faces team) have a unique theme of their own. For everyone else, the background noise coming from the stage will underscore the fight instead. In fact, the closest that a stage gets to having its own theme would be the Bali stage.

Lost has employed various strategies to incorporate source music into island scenes. In the first season, it could only be played on Hurley's CD player, until his batteries ran out. In season two, the Losties found a Dharma station full of vinyl records. In season 3, Jack listens to Nirvana in his car. As a Musical Gag, the source music was often recorded by artists who died in plane crashes, such as Patsy Cline, Glenn Miller, Otis Redding, and Buddy Holly.
A reprise of Claire singing "Catch a Falling Star" in season 6 was the only time a song was played that wasn't from an in-universe source.

In Pokémon Black and White, some towns have musicians that add extra instrumental tracks to the background. They usually work in two ways: They either start playing when you find them and talk to them, and an extra layer is added to the overall background music, or they play constantly but you can only hear them when you approach them. Many towns have at least one, and even one place, Village Bridge, has a sidequest that revolves around the concept, having you go around the town to find four musicians (a guitarist, a guy with a grass whistle, a beat-boxer, and a *singer*, to make a track that also happens to be the first in the game series with actual lyrics).

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney:
In the third case, the hero spends the first phase of the investigation backstage at a rock concert; the BGM is coming from the onstage band.
The second case implies that Klavier Gavin's theme song really is playing in the courtroom, as well (though presumably not when it plays in the flashback case of Turnabout Succession, since it didn't exist yet in-universe then).

Final Destination
This trope is weaponized in the first movie, in which the characters narrowly escape death in a plane crash. Ever since, every time "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver (who died in a plane crash in Real Life) plays in-universe, it's a warning that Death is about to strike.
Final Destination 3 has two of them:
"Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players. This is what Ashley and Ashlyn are listening to at Phoneix Tanning. It alludes to the rollercoaster accident they were supposed to die on, but others have also pointed out the ominous urban legend of the woman screaming was her actually being murdered or supposedly dying in a rollercoaster accident. At that point, both their fates are obvious but the music really helps emphasize it.
"Turn Around, Look at Me" by The Vogues. This song is a constant motif in the film, which always plays just before Death is about the strike.
The song first suddenly starts playing on the radio in Kevin's car and is what tips Wendy of the runaway truck approaching the drive-through that is hurtling right behind them. It's particularly glaring with the lyric, "There is someone walking behind you."
It returns when Wendy is rushing to the Centennial in her car, where she is trying to prevent her sister's Julie, the other person with her (Perry) and Kevin's deaths but also alludes to the fact Ian is in the car behind her, following her.
And finally, with the singer on Train 081. The singer, along with a gust of wind a constant omen of Death, is what clues Wendy to the true meaning of her photograph with Jason's blurry face, much how a train blurs focus when it's moving, her photo really represents she is meant to die on the train.
In Final Destination 4, when the redneck suffers Death by Racism, "Why Can't We Be Friends?" by War plays on his car radio.

Metal Gear Solid plays Psycho Mantis's theme over some unrelated conversations, and the characters comment on it. It turns out that the tune is actually Mantis's 'mind control music' and a side-effect of using his powers. Extended canon has that the song is a piece of Russian classical music he remembers from his childhood, and people hear it by 'feedback'.

The Impressario, having had his leading man knocked out by the attack, decides to roll with it, and gets the orchestra to provide the musical accompaniment for the fight scene.
Final Fantasy VII:
Everyone in the party is horrified by the awful marching music blaring out of Junon when Rufus Shinra arrives.
There are two pianos in Nibelheim which the player can play. Playing Cloud's Theme on the piano in Tifa's old bedroom causes Cloud to remark that he's 'heard this melody somewhere before', as well as providing you with an important endgame item for Tifa if you're far enough through the game.
Early in Final Fantasy IX, Zidane can hear Garnet singing and looks for her. As he searches, the BGM is Garnet's voice. Subverted in that she's accompanied by a harp in the BGM, but seems to be singing a cappella once Zidane reaches her.
Most arrangements of "The Hymn of the Fayth" in Final Fantasy X are ostensibly source music, sung by the Fayth themselves or by unseen monks.
In Final Fantasy X-2, the cutscene that shows the Big Bad trying to activate Vegnagun for the first time is accompanied by a haunting piano theme, which is being on said LostSuperweapon itself.

Bicentennial Man:
Andrew has an old record player which he restores and uses to play opera music.
Galatea has a music player inside her body, and in her introduction she is seen activating it by slapping her hip. She also sings, sometimes along with the music and sometimes acapella.

Fairly common in the Fatal Fury series. In Fatal Fury 2 and Special, Krauser has a 90-piece orchestra in the background of his stage, obviously supplying the orchestral music. In Fatal Fury 3, the background music in Terry's stage only starts when a character turns on a radio. In Real Bout Special and 2, there is an opera singer visible in Krauser's stage, and she sings in time with the vocals of his new theme.

During one of the Q and A sections of the second Hatoful Boyfriend, an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain hijacks a session and uses it to talk about himself. Other characters, locked out of the studio, pound on the door and yell at him. Tohri calls this the "fevered gibbering of the peanut gallery" and decides to put on some music - his theme tune.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:
This trope is invoked in order to help the player navigate the Lost Woods: if the music, which Saria is playing, gets quieter, you know you're going the wrong way.
A faint Ominous Pipe Organ can be heard as Link makes his way through Ganondorf's castle, growing louder as he climbs the stairs. Once Link reaches the top, Ganondorf is revealed to be playing the music himself.
There's also the man from the windmill in post-Time Skip Kakariko Village, who's playing the Song of Storms, which Link can learn from him. It turns out Link actually taught it to him pre-time skip, thus creating an ontological paradox.

This trope is weaponized in the first movie, in which the characters narrowly escape death in a plane crash. Ever since, every time "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver (who died in a plane crash in Real Life) plays in-universe, it's a warning that Death is about to strike.

Final Destination 3 has two of them:
"Love Rollercoaster" by the Ohio Players. This is what Ashley and Ashlyn are listening to at Phoneix Tanning. It alludes to the rollercoaster accident they were supposed to die on, but others have also pointed out the ominous urban legend of the woman screaming was her actually being murdered or supposedly dying in a rollercoaster accident. At that point, both their fates are obvious but the music really helps emphasize it.
"Turn Around, Look at Me" by The Vogues. This song is a constant motif in the film, which always plays just before Death is about the strike.
The song first suddenly starts playing on the radio in Kevin's car and is what tips Wendy of the runaway truck approaching the drive-through that is hurtling right behind them. It's particularly glaring with the lyric, "There is someone walking behind you."
It returns when Wendy is rushing to the Centennial in her car, where she is trying to prevent her sister's Julie, the other person with her (Perry) and Kevin's deaths but also alludes to the fact Ian is in the car behind her, following her.
And finally, with the singer on Train 081. The singer, along with a gust of wind a constant omen of Death, is what clues Wendy to the true meaning of her photograph with Jason's blurry face, much how a train blurs focus when it's moving, her photo really represents she is meant to die on the train.

All the music in Dracula (1931). There was no real musical soundtrack in the film because it was believed that, with sound being such a recent innovation in films, the audience would not accept hearing music in a scene if there was no explanation for it being there (e.g., the orchestra playing off camera when Dracula meets Mina at the theatre).

Kolya: Because several characters are musicians, there are more instances throughout the film. In a more notable mixed example, when Kolya's plane leaves at the end, a passage from Bedřich Smetana's "Tábor" begins to play, appearing at first to be just traditional soundtrack - but the next scenes reveal it is actually a piece being played by the symphonic orchestra at the concert where Louka is welcomed back.

Pirates of the Caribbean:
There's a subversion in The Curse of the Black Pearl — when Elizabeth first sees the cursed pirated in their skeletal forms, two of them are sitting on the capstan and playing music — but we can't hear what they're playing, just the background music.
In Dead Man's Chest, Davy Jones' theme is a haunting combination of a tune first played from a music box and then played on an Ominous Pipe Organ, and actually comes from his musical locket which is his only memory of the love he used to have, and is played by him on the Flying Dutchman's organ, respectively.
In On Stranger Tides, there's the tavern band in Tortuga accompanying a barroom brawl with a merry hornpipe, and Scrum playing tango music to which Jack and Angelica can dance.

In several scenes in Children of Men, the music is coming from radios, stereos or TV screens in the landscape, and are affected by the events surrounding. Perhaps a more literal use of this trope occurs after the bombing in the first scene where we here the ringing in lead character Theo's ears, which is a recurring motif for the first act of the film.

In the Splatoon series, all of the music is played by in-universe bands, with Word of God confirming that the entire soundtrack is being heard by the characters as well as the players. For example, the explanation for the single-player music is that your character is picking up Octarian songs on their radio, while the music during Splatfests is being performed live by the hosts. This trope especially comes into play during the final boss fights across the series, as your Mission Control always includes some musicians or singers who actively start playing one of their songs to invoke a Theme Song Power Up.

Super Mario Odyssey has a few instances of this. In addition to jukeboxes playing music that Mario will dance to if he stands near them, in Metro Kingdom, Pauline (with Mario's help) puts together a band to play music at a festival which is actually a level, during which "Jump Up, Super Star!" is the musical accompaniment to Mario's athletics. At the game's end in the escape sequence after the Final Boss, Pauline does it again by singing "Break Free! (Lead the Way)", a song in part about breaking blocks and escaping, as Mario breaks blocks and escapes.

Call of Duty: Black Ops has the first half of the level "Crash Site", in which the player goes to town on Viet Cong with a PT boat while Sympathy for the Devil plays on the boat's radio. There's also minor examples bookending "S.O.G.", with the helicopter delivering Mason and Hudson at the start and the one delivering Bowman at the end both playing Fortunate Son over their radios.
Black Ops II continues this midway through the level "Karma", where the player finds the high-value individual they're searching for in the middle of a totally-packed dance floor, music blaring even after the floor's been cleared and the player and armed mercs start shooting at each other.

Battlestar Galactica had this in the season finale for season 3, where "All Along The Watchtower" is playing through the Galactica. Turns out that only the four Cylons still on board can hear it, and in the series finale, the song is the key to getting to Earth.

In Der Rosenkavalier, the Baron hires a small orchestra to play Tafelmusik to entertain him during his courting of "Mariandel," which ends disastrously for him. As the Baron departs in disgrace, payment is demanded for the musicians.

In Oldboy (2003) the main character's phone rings with a digitized version of the song "Cries and Whispers" which plays occasionally in a non-diegetic fashion during the film.

Like most Valve games, Portal's soundtrack tends to be very atmospheric and minimalistic, but the first sound in the game is a cheerful samba version of the game's theme song, "Still Alive," coming from a radio in the cell you start the game in. The same music is used later, coming from a very oddly-located second radio, as you navigate a level full of deadly turrets. Alternatively serves as a Theme Music Power-Up for some players, calming them down so they can finish the first "scary" level of Portal. Super effective if they already know the song.

Played with in The Cocoanuts; due to Executive Meddling, an orchestra was hired to be in the lobby to justify where the background music throughout the film was coming from. In the final cut, they are only clearly visible in the party scene... and it was all for nothing as the audience didn't care anyway.

Source music on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was often in the form of bands playing at The Bronze.
It occasionally bleeds into subsequent scenes, too. In "Sleeper", guest-artist Aimee Mann and her band kick up the volume during a violent encounter between Spike and another vampire in the Bronze's loft. Later, as the band leaves the stage, Mann mutters, "Man, I hate playing vampire towns."

Level 1-9 in Nitemare 3D had a scripted sequence where your weapon would jam, and the only way to deal with the enemies in the room is to turn on a conveniently placed radio, which makes them dance out of the way of the door you need to open. The radio cuts out after a few seconds and they return to normal. But if you like, you can turn around once your weapon is available again, shoot them, and turn the radio back on, at which point it continues playing until the end of the level.

Croc 2:
In the opening cutscene, the Inventor Gobbo is listening to the series theme tune on his radio and humming along.
The theme tune on the title screen is an acoustic remix which is being played by the Gobbos on the screen, who are enjoying a vacation on the beach.

An early sign that Spec Ops: The Line is going a different route than the usual military shooter is when Delta fights their way through a building with Deep Purple's "Hush" blaring over jury-rigged speakers. Throughout the game, the Radioman taunts Delta with music through their earpieces, such as playing (and badly singing along to) "Dies Irae" while they're being fired upon by an attack helicopter.

In Touhou Hyouibana ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers, the Yorigami Sisters' leitmotif is named "Tonight Stars an Easygoing Egotist (Live ver.) ~ Egoistic Flowers". Yes, the "(Live ver.)" is part of the song name in-game. When you fight them, it happens in a concert stage, and the musicians can be seen playing in the background. In some parts of the song, you can even hear the crowds cheering. There's a remix of the song in the official soundtrack, this time not the live version.

In Prey, you have to acquire a voice sample of one of an NPC to unlock a door. One way of doing so is listening to a recording of their music, which is played over the speakers of the club on the space station. Too bad that the Typhon can hear it, too...

In Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail during land and amphibious battles, some infantry units have a fifes and drums band that will play marching music to keep the troops in step, and you can hear it if you zoom in far enough. It's even period and country appropriate; British soldiers will play "The British Grenadiers" and US troops will play "Yankee Doodle".
