Hi, for movie transcription, it's better for you to contact with your employer. Some movie agent omit them, and some are required them to be transcribed.

It depends on your client Apr 2, 2017

Yes, check with your client to see what she/he wants before you do "unnecessary" work. Some clients want these "noises" omitted, other want them in the transcript (and translated).
