Old silent film clips are overdubbed with noise, sound effects, etc., that would be better left alone.
You actually see it more on TV shows, especially war documentaries, etc. with sounds of soldiers marching, waves crashing over ships, explosions, gunfire, etc. Some are done better than others, but it is really a distraction for me.
You definitely don't want to see THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD (2018), in which Peter Jackson creates an entire film by taking old silent footage from World War I and adding sound, color, and 3D.

Old movies, phone booths:
1. The phone booths are rarely, if ever, being used by someone else.
2. The phone always works.
3. The user always has enough change for a call, even international.
4. A person uses the phone without once ever looking at the thing to see if it's anything like clean and without regard as to what might've been on the hands of the last users.
5. The called person always answers.
1970s-80s inner city, phone booths:
1. Character walks up to a phone booth. Phone has an "Out of Order" sign on it.
2. Character is being pursued, desperately looks for a phone booth, finds one, picks up the handset, only to find that the cord is disconnected.
3. Character is breathlessly speaking to someone from a phone booth, but senses danger. Shot of the person to whom the character is speaking. Then a shot of the phone booth with the handset dangling from the box.

Likely covered before but, a character is stranded on a desert island or some desolate area, whatever, when a plane or helicopter passes overhead or a ship passes by at sea and the character yells, waves their hands, jumps up and down, etc.
They can't hear you. If they're a mile away or more, they can't see you either!
Oh c'mon!
You would do the same thing JackFool!

You know that question
"If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you want with you?"
Well, now I know who I WOULDN'T want with me!

Not even close! Years later my skeletal remains would be found next to a large rock on which was inscribed "Why ME?"
A coroner's report would state "Death due to wallowing in self-pity".

), by the time I'm finished, I'm standing in soapy, ankle-deep water that's so opaque I can't even see my toes. And it's only about two or three inches deep at that point. 
Love that!
