How does my ear differentiates, that it’s the TV sound and not my neighbor being slaughtered?

So when I pass by my neighbor’s door, and I hear the noise someone bleeding in the movie makes(no music, no suspension sound effects, plain pain moaning), I initially know it’s a movie.

How? What exactly makes the sound of a person moaning from pain different from an actual person moaning, that doesn’t make 1000’s of false alarm 911 phone calls everyday all around the globe?

I think it probably has to do with audio processing and the dynamics in sound being different to things not recorded. Speakers have a range of frequency and information probably get lost or manipulated making it sound not “real”

Typically at least in music sounds get compressed bringing the peaks and dips closer.

Sorry i don’t have a definitive answer
